   @kf @Stoori Not a French thing, an US thing. US Americans often believe that "neoliberalism" has something to do with the social democracy they call "liberalism".

     @Stoori ah, maybe they're referring to that whole New Labour shite... still reluctant to call that leftism...

     @kf i really have no idea of how the writer of that sentence arrived to the conclusion. and this has nothing to do with mondediplo, i've actually never read it and can't comment on it particularly, but this is the first time that i see thatcher and reagan being posed as opponents on neoliberalism.

     ”Le Monde diplomatique took an independent stance, criticising both the neoliberal ideology of the left and conservative policies represented by UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and US President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.”

     Who writes this kind of shit? Of course it's in wikipedia with [citation needed], but still.

     @Stoori I have never ever ever thought of neoliberalism as a part of the left... am I just missing out on some historical French context here or is it, as you so eloquently put it, just a pile of shit?

     Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
     And all that I can see
     Is just a yellow Le Monde diplomatique”
