Neoliberalism is just corporatocracy/oligarchy in drag and with effeminate/gay talking points. The behavior and policies of the US government are the same whichever party is in charge of the congress or the presidency, because all the "representatives" are basically just employees.
The MAGA republicans sort of figured it out, but have a pretty dim vision of what would need to change to "restore" America of even just 20 or 30 years ago. The typical democrat is either a beneficiary of the system itself and maybe has an apparatchik type job in an HR department or a tech job or professional job in some giant quasi-public institution, and/or also is a puritanical religious person that believes in global warmaids or think the government "helps" people in need--basically they believe propaganda that was on TV in the 1980s and 1990s.
Neoliberalism is a global phenomenon. The western countries are all hollowed out from it and some Asian countries are on the up-swing because of it. One of the main issues with the neoliberal system is the parasitic western "elites" imagined they'd control the countries they shipped western manufacturing to for the past 50 years. However, the "elites" in Asia decided to build and manage their own industries instead of serve as junior partners to western corporations in perpetuity, so even the executives at failing companies in the western world are now under threat from competition they created.
Anyway, the central governments in the west are the problem and not the solution to neoliberalism. I think Europe is just FUBAR and has a pretty bleak future and isn't really worth worrying about, at least from an American person's point-of-view. The western hemisphere, though, could actually enjoy a prosperous future if the current governments were purged and we rebooted a new financial system and promoted internal and local investment instead of global centralization of financialized wealth-tokens.
