    Are you a bot? Your grammar makes me think: yes. Or autocorrect, via Google.

    Neoliberal policies fuel degradation of institutions? Can’t say I disagree, though having little to do with dismantling of democracy, or those institutions.

      Some socialist theory defines fascism as capitalism in decline. I don’t really agree with that definition but it’s not wrong with their critique of capitalism. So if you want to learn more about that, you should look into the (few) socialist academics.

      One simple example would be corporate or capitalist ownership of media or the “fifth estate”. How could you have a democracy when voters are deliberately misinformed about reality? And not because of ideology but for profit and to create better rules to increase corporate profits? What else do you expect to happen?
