(#SupremeCourt, #SCOTUS) zu sehen, an den i. Ü. nicht viel später der vorgenannte plutokratiefreundliche #Demokratie-Brandstifter #LewisPowell berufen wurde.
Die politisiert-volkswirtschaftliche Grundlage lieferte hierfür jedoch der Erz-#Republikanische Witschafts-#Nobelpreisträger #JamesBuchanan mit seiner #VirginiaSchool-Kaderschmiede, bereits Jahre zuvor, spätestens ab 1965.
In diesem Jahrhundert wurde dann die #US-Demokratie vom ge"highjacked"ten @HistoPol @peter_koenig @HistoPol
Zumal das nun erneut massiv verschärfte #SGBII im #Bundesrat Thema war & damit eigentlich auch #Transparenz und #Oeffentlichkeit der dortigen Debatte gegeben sein sollte!
Aber zur Ablenkung - frei nach #JamesBuchanan - hat es ja nicht um Wahrheit zu gehen, sondern darum, daß ueber irgendwas gesprochen wird, nur nicht über das formal erforderliche.
Meint: "Flood the Zone with Shit" indem plötzlich auch noch von einer #ArbeitnehmerAgenda die Rede sein soll also noch mehr #Demokratie - Rueckbau ❗

Die damals gesähten Samen gingen auf in #Reagonomics
(https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/109730219700294592) und kulminierten schließlich in #CitizensUnitedVsFEC, den #Trump-Präsidentschaften, sowie der jahrzehntelang geplanten Übernahme des Obersten Gerichtshofs der #USA. Damals wurde die finale(?) Verwandlung des #AmericanExperiments in eine #Plutokratie (du klassifizierst das anders) zementiert (b. a. w.):

Also,

Writer Cory Doctorow returns to Democracy Now! to discuss his new book Enshittification, which explores the term he coined in 2022 to describe how online platforms like Facebook degrade over time as companies seek to maximize profit at the expense of their users, and it has since become shorthand for describing a pervasive sense of dropping standards across various aspects of modern life. Enshittification is “the collapse of discipline,” says Doctorow. “America’s ruling class has managed to neutralize all the discipline that it ever faced. Their weirdest, worst ideas are the ones that we’re all stuck with.” Doctorow also elaborates on a point he makes in his book: “Donald Trump’s election represents the ultimate triumph of enshittification in the political realm.”

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Nowadays, any #neoliberal acolyte--in particular, if their native language is English--is most likely linked to what #EdwardLuttwak called #Turbocapitalism, which I think aptly describes the policies #JamesBuchanan's #VirginiaSchool propagates (calling it differently, though) and #Trumpism. (See my posts with the hashtag #Buchanan.)

You are quite right in your assesment, Mina, though you focus on the 1 of 3 #neoliberal
strands that is the pillar of #Reagonomics and #Trumpism, #Buchanan's #VirginiaSchool:
"...unlike even the most property-friendly founders #AlexanderHamilton and #JamesMadison, 👉#Buchanan wanted a private governing elite of corporate power that was wholly released from public accountability.👈" 1)

..."...the Virginia school, as Buchanan’s brand of economic and political thinking is known, is a kind of cousin to the better-known, market-oriented #Chicago and #AustrianSchool|s — proponents of all three were members of the #MontPelerinSociety, 👉an international #neoliberal organization which included #MiltonFriedman and #FriedrichHayek." 👈

I could only find fault at 3 things:
1) Why is there no mention of the major role of #NobelLaureate #JamesBuchanan? 1)
2) Why does...
