The arc of neoliberalism is long, but it bends toward the rich

Neoliberals pitted the deserving poor against the undeserving poor in order to abolish welfare.

Neoliberals pitted third-world workers against American workers in order to pass NAFTA.

Neoliberals pit black Democrats against white Democrats in order to elect Hillary Clinton.

In each instance, neoliberals claim to be speaking on behalf of a group at the bottom or near bottom in order to pursue a politics that benefits those at the top.
