Crazy how "liberal democracy" always equals governance "by the wealthy, for the wealthy", huh?

    What "democracy"?!

    The whole point of Neoliberalism is to have Money be a higher power than the State (which is the part controlled by voters via elected representatives) - their entire schtick being all about how the Market should not be "interfered" with by the State and the State shouldn't actually own or do anything other than National Defense and a Judicial System - so the very opposite of Democracy (were the greatest power of all is that of voters and it is not restricted to just some areas).

    This kind of "liberalism" is never and was never about Democracy (though it definitelly disguises itself as "democratic"), it has always been about replacing Democracy with Oligarchy.

    This does not surprise me. They will keep pushing. Especially now, emboldened by the recent adoption of the controversial migration pact.

    These people boast about EU being a democratic heaven whenever they get criticized for their complicity with crimes against humanity. Then they fuck every democratic principle and mechanism to do whatever their lobbyist ask them to do.
