Growing up Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher told us that capitalism went hand in hand with freedom and democracy.

Today we can see that capitalists can quite comfortably walk hand in hand with authoritarianism and fascism to maintain and consolidate their wealth and power.

@danwentzel I grew up in a family of members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the Federal Republic of Germany, everybody in my family hated Thatcher, Reagan, and Kohl, and nobody believed their bullshit. However, when Schröder became chancellor, all of the neoliberal bullshit of the SPD/Green coalition government was forgiven because they were "our" team.
