Bully Magnets Presents What is neoliberalism?

One of those words that one hears in the news, newspapers, speeches and

even on the street is neoliberalism, a fairly confusing and complex concept that

it's not always clear at all, but that still used indiscriminately so much

positively as a very negative, but at the end of the day what is neoliberalism,

what is it about and exactly what do you want say well stay on this video because

There are many things to clarify.

For almost 50 years that the term neoliberalism has been in the environment and

little by little it has been taking different meanings, this is curious because neoliberalism doesn't

it's a concrete idea, it's more like a series of ideas and concepts that have been adapting

to modern societies as we now know them, the concept of the neoliberal is so rare and diffuse

that there are even those who claim that it does not exist.

And it is that neoliberalism is not something tangible, it is not a postulate written in stone, even

it's not as clear as the Marxism or communism, it is still a concept

that we can perceive in the form of policies public, in economics, finance,

public life, health, education and even in the social dynamics that we have

daily.

That's why I prepared this video for you to show you very quickly what is the

neoliberalism, what makes it up and what is it in very general terms it is current

of thought that transformed the second half of the 20th century and what have you directed up to

this moment The 21st century, so get ready because this will be the first of several videos

where we will get into matter about something so complicated.

First of all you have to be very clear that there is no universal and unique definition

for this concept as it happens, by example, with communism, where there is no one

single version and varies depending on the regions, governments and even temporality,

the same goes for concepts like Marxism, liberalism, capitalism and even the

anarchism, just remember communist Russia from the first half of the twentieth century where one

I might think the country was an incarnation almost direct from Marxism, but that was not

so, in reality the Russian State had a adapted and customized current that

defined as Marxism-Leninism.

Because we apply Marxism, but conveniently adapted for my idea of ​​nation.

This same phenomenon occurs with the concept of neoliberalism, although there is no need to be alarmed,

well, although there are many authors that delimit differently what is and is not neoliberalism

yes there are some points in common that we can underline and that will help us define in

its most basic and elementary way what the hell it's neoliberalism, regardless of the current

I'm describing it.

Among other things there is only one foundation of this current that is universally and completely

elementary, it's about neoliberalism is the opposite of any other idea

of collective social organization, it is say, is the opposite or is the rival of communism,

of socialism or any other idea of collective organization of activities

and resources in one society, said of another way, neoliberalism is a series of

ideas where the private is reinforced over the public, the individual over the collective,

the wealth of one or a group over that of everyone equally.

It is a system to create individualistic millionaires, not for hipies and their communes

From this simple sense of the neoliberal is that many more ideas arise that give

your regional or temporary personality and the way in which these manifest is in form

of laws, public policies, institutional agreements, agreements between governments and economic policies

and prosecutors who seek as their main objective stop the advance of the collective in points

and very specific aspects such as protection of private property.

Needless to say, these policies worldwide public have been incredibly

successful in adapting to almost all countries in the last 50 years, so much so that today

in day there seems to be no other clear alternative of how to build the economic order and of

world government

Although of course, not for being the most successful is the best, neoliberalism has caused disasters

environmental, economic catastrophes in nations developing, rampant inequality

across the planet and such an accelerated consumerism that seems unsustainable in the long run, but

that will be a conversation for another video, for now let's continue with a little bit of

story of how we got to this moment historical where the neoliberal prevails.

A great time to live if you ask me to me

Speak for yourself, in my country there is no work and companies people like you have destroyed all

natural resources Yes, maybe, but you should see how much

people have a good time in other countries Not so much, I work 12 hours a day and still

That way I can never buy my own house It's just the logic of the market, you only have

to try a little harder Work even more just to survive?

This makes no sense Yes, well, it is not that you have another

For things like that it is so complicated Neoliberalism, on the one hand, it generates wealth and well-being for

millions of people mainly in the cities around the world but on the other hand

also causes excessive extraction of natural resources, the destruction of

small local economies, generates inequality and regional poverty circles what are

very complicated to break, but hey, let's continue With the story.

In very general terms we can say that the entire neoliberal movement emerges derived

of the illustration that begins with the revolutions from the end of the 18th century, for example, the revolution

French, independence of the United States, Independence in the Americas

and with all of them the extension of rights civilians and politicians in much of the world

western.

These social movements expanded the concept private property and individual rights,

what later became accentuated with the arrival of the industrial revolution that unfortunately

produced an extreme exploitation of the population, that caused workers revolutions that changed

the course of ideals what were created during the independence and revolutions of the end

of the 18th and 19th century.

Then during the second half of the 19th century comes the welfare movement that is taking

strength throughout the end of the century, then with the 1929 crisis in the united states and

especially it is accentuated with the second war World War and the Cold War, the welfare state

is that the government has the obligation of giving the population social security,

public services and great government spending, this reaches until the 60s but finally

creates a system in crisis where governments they cannot afford those expenses in addition to

have a great tendency to inefficiency and corruption

From there the welfare state left of being fun

By the mid-seventies and up the eighties begins to be implemented

the idea of ​​the neoliberal, although this with many regional nuances and differences, but

that we can delimit in three big ideas which will be applied practically throughout the

Western world almost like a recipe.

From this video, now we continue.

The conicna of Reijard That's me

Welcome to my kitchen, this week we will prepare a rich neoliberal dish, it's quite easy

If you follow this recipe, you will only need 3 ingredients, the first is a good state

strong, preferably one that organizes, that have police to keep order and also

with means of communications and transportation.

The idea of ​​this is to make the state a guardian of the market, that is, that neoliberalism

It is not intended to destroy or replace states, much less reduce them to their minimum expression,

rather, what he wants is to transform them so that they are the ones who guarantee

that logic can be sustained and expanded of markets, interestingly neoliberalism

it needs a strong state, but not with the purposes to meet the needs of the

population but rather to sustain and expand market forces.

And the market is not something that happens just because yes, you need clear rules and

mechanisms that allow to delimit what is can and what cannot be done in addition

it is understood that it is the state that has to provide space for markets

may exist, the state is the basis of our recipe, where everything is going to mix, this is

important because it guarantees the operation of the markets.

We neoliberalists believe that well-being of people and society only reached

When they participate in the markets.

Another ingredient of neoliberalism is to create the feeling that the market is

the only mechanism capable of processing information clearly and fairly, he does so by saying

that the dynamics of supply and demand reveals the true value, cost and price of

things, because only with the market you can reveal how much it costs to produce something and also

how much are you willing to pay someone for anything.

So you have to add some freedom to our recipe, because neoliberalism defends

the idea of ​​freedom of people, groups and governments, although of course, it is understood

as freedom to the ability of anyone Can participate in the markets.

This means that the idea is defended that each person has full freedom to

act within the market to buy or sell whatever you like, even talk about a degree

such freedom where there are no items, prohibited goods or services and that

even within that freedom one can choose sell yourself in time, effort,

intellect and even in body, because it occurs for granted that the purchase dynamics itself

and market sale will be the one that will limit how far freedom can go

Which if we think about it sounds pretty great

And at the same time very, very scary.

Finally we have the simplest ingredient and it is that neoliberalism propagates as a

almost absolute truth its own superiority technical, moral and logical about the public,

so let's add something private initiative, a lot of preference and then remove the

lumps of public companies as much as possible.

And it is that neoliberalism assumes that any important public activity like

energy production, health, education, the construction or anything else will be

inferior to any other done so private, that idea is based on the fact that

the public is linked to the government and therefore it is manipulated by interests

private and murky politicians, so That will be permanently corrupt and inefficient.

And ready!

with those three ingredients well mixed a neoliberal state is created, they can put

more than one ingredient or less than any another doesn't matter, but they always have to

have all three: a regulatory state, freedom mercantile and finally prioritize what

private over the public, mix well strong and enjoy

There they have it, in very general terms those are the most elementary parts that make up

to neoliberalism, obviously there is much more to say and the story of where are you from

ideas is quite wide and distant, but for let's leave it that way, why good

It is worth talking in a timely manner about where each of these ideas comes and why

They have preserved to this day.

So stay tuned, because in the Next weeks we will continue with this topic

about the history of neoliberalism, bye!
