Just found this @pluralistic gem.
Back in the 80s, the old people who where there in the 1920 and 1930s warn about exactly where this would lead. It's called Neoliberal economics because it's a Friedmanesque propaganda rebranding of the discredited Liberal economics that produced the Great Depression.

What I love is how Zohran Mamdani's father Mahmood found out about Marx.
"Soon after, he learned about Karl Marx's work from an FBI visit." -wikipedia
FBI guy said, “Do you like Marx?”
I said, “I haven’t met him.”
Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.”
“Wow, what happened?”
“No, no, he died long ago.”
I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?”
“No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.”
I said, “Sounds amazing.”
