I write about neoliberalism, the current stage of global capitalism. This is a system of power, wealth, and control by ruling elites currently centered in the US and Europe; neoliberals use exploitation, surveillance, and violence to maintain power. The neoliberal agenda of the US ruling class, beyond constantly working to concentrate more and more wealth and power in their own hands, is to roll back the 1930s gains of the working class and the 1950–70s gains in civil rights and access to education, voting rights, housing, and jobs won by African Americans, women, people with disabilities, people who are LGBTQ, and environmental activists.
