@@ShayNoMore1 China is a Corporatist State. Nearly all sectors are under the control of Party owned Corporations. Though Free Enterprise is allowed, it's only allowed so the private sector can boost the economy, only for the state to turn around to buy those newly created assets so they can then be incorporated into the state owned corporations. This is why most successful companies apply for positions within the Communist Party, the fear of being appropriated by the State, if they become part of the State voluntarily perhaps the State will not take their business. It's actually the same dirty tactic the Nazis used, they called it privatization but it was actually State appropriation, done so specifically so the party could take control of the economy, and terrify business that they didn't take over to do what the STATE says or well you take your stuff from you. With that they can allow the private sector to do what it does, run more efficiently than the public sector can ever hope to do themselves, while also having the control they need when they need it. The CCP in short abandoned the Marxist concept of Syndicalism, and brought in Fascist Corporatism, which still allows money/earnings/profits. But the State is still in absolute control, if any business/company does what they state doesn't like the State will take it over, or worse. So the State is still in absolute control of the economy, they just allowed decentralization to make the economy more efficient. Which is why their economy saw such a large economic boom. To be honest, I think the Chinese are more liberal as they allow more capitalism than the Nazis did, but that is only because the CCP realized that less regulation/control = economic growth so even when they enact regulations they literally do not enforce them, so they can benefit from both, growth and bro-fisting the people as they pretend to do the right thing. This is the reason why all foreign companies that try to set up shop within China have to make a Co-op with a Chinese Company, companies are often just created for the soul purpose of making a partnership with a foreign company. Why would the CCP make this requirement? Because the CCP demands access. For the same reason they Nationalized 3M Factories during the 2020 C19 pandemic, it's entirely for the purpose of allowing the State to take control or have control when they want, without any exceptions. The only Liberal economic system is the Capitalist system btw. All other economic systems are not Liberal, as they require individuals to surrender their personal individual rights to the collective group, which goes against everything liberalism actually stands for. Capitalism itself is ironically built upon the foundation of Liberalism itself, and is literally Liberalism in Economic Practice, not just Social.

And Pinochet wasn't even our earliest neoliberal meddling of this kind in South America. What happened to Guatemala in the 50s-70s after Arbenz, the democratically elected socialist pushing for massive land reforms, was ousted in a coup, including full blown genocide of native peoples, was explicitly backed by international corporations (United Fruit Co. aka Chikita today being the main one) who requested assistance from the US government and CIA. The CIA was also fully aware of the genocide that occurred after the Guatemalan Civil War broke out. Pinochet was the crystallization of these tactics and ideas in South America and it's truly, absolutely gut-wrenching to read some of the accounts of how people were tortured and killed during this time. In Guatemala, native villages would be burned and cropland salted. Lots of brutal ways to die, one of the harshest being leaving tortured children to die of starvation in a pit, screaming from atop a pile of their family and friends' corpses. Neoliberalism will sell us all back into slavery or sell our enemies the ammunition to kill us in order to protect profit margins.
Totally. While Chile may be the first explicitly “neoliberal” coup, the US has had plenty of practice setting up third world economies to its own benefit against the will of the people there. The CIA has been up to shit like this since Iran, and the US has been toppling foreign governments at least since Hawaii. Looking at the Indonesia coup a few years before Chile, the strategy is so similar to what happened in Chile that it’s less of a coincidence than a clear example of the CIA learning strategy. In the place of the Chicago Boys, Indonesia and Suharto had the “Berkeley Mafia” to set up the Indonesian economy along similar lines.

Man, this is your first video I've seen and I was legitimately shocked at how such a high quality video was made on such a small channel, especially since it's only your second video
Yo this is like my ninth video in a row trying to understand neoliberalism, and that fairytale made everything “click.” Thank you for demystifying history and philosophy and economic trends into a very simple narrative that pieced those aspects together. Would buy the fairytale in print.
I used to have a friend whose dad was imprisoned under Pinochet. But I was a stupid teen at the time and I had no idea what that meant when it was mentioned around me, or any history of Chile. I wouldn't have even been able to point it out on the map (it's the long skinny one btw). I'm not in touch with that friend any more and now I know more about global politics I wish I'd asked her some follow up questions because wow.
It’s always wild when I’m reminded how young neoliberalism is, it feels like it just is the way things are and always have been. But that’s just the sort of thing the establishment wants people to think, that it’s ancient and inescapable.
Yep. There's actually a term for this but I can't remember what it is. It's when you have competing systems but you can't imagine life in the other system because the only one you've experienced is likely the one you're currently in. They want to keep it that way.
I've watched this video like five times now, and it just really explains what I had heard about neoliberalism but never understood. Neoliberalism, the thing that you and your parents definitely disagree on. Boy is that true, feels like all adults no matter how liberal themselves are also somehow neoliberal at the same time. Left or right, neoliberalism is a cancer wherever it goes.
Very true. Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology of planet earth right now, whether you're looking at a liberal democrat or a conservative neo-fascist, neoliberalism get absorbed everywhere
Democracy is important... except in any part of a communities existence that could be of any value.. such as where they produce wealth for an owner or landlord, then democracy must be crushed in every way. But keep allowing them to put a paper ballot into a box every 2-4 years so they will keep thinking that they have some say in the way society evolves.
Honestly, I think it's more that it's remarkable-sounding when someone is Canadian but not American. I'm sure if you tabulated the numbers, it's be pretty proportional between population. What burns me, though, is that Right-wingers get the grift of advocating against policies they can benefit from at any time as Canadians (healthcare here is good, despite our fallen sons and daughters insisting we have 18 hour wait times, they remove the nuance of "triage" from that equation).
They’re just better in Canada 🤣 seriously though, it might be a consequence of the “at least we’re not as bad as the US” culture up there, combined with the Great Spectacle that the US pumps over the airwaves... I like to imagine a more-flattering version of Flanders from the simpsons, a kind of “hey neighbor, would you mind NOT breaking everything? I only worry about the possibility that some of the resulting shrapnel might damage some of my stuff...” kinda situation
I really like your videos man! I dont understand a lot about specific political ideologies and what they mean, but your videos so far have been helpful! I found your last one really interesting and engaging, and the quality so far is really consistent. Im looking forward to your next one! How often do you intend on releasing videos, do you have a specific schedule?
Thank you so much, glad they’ve been helpful to you! I don’t so much have a specific schedule yet but I’m going to aim to upload at least one video every two weeks on Wednesdays. I’m just getting started so I haven’t really figured out my rhythm yet
@@ChillGoblin Great to hear. I think it's important to think first of oneself('s health) in this regard. Of course you would have a better reach and everything with a video once a week, which is in turn more stressful of course. Personally I would love to see more and/or longer content by you, it's really great! Keep it up man
this such an informative video in such a simple and fun format; i love the background art, weird analogies and hilarious impressions. never stop. this is my prayer to the ~a l g o r i t h m~ godz.
DON'T EAT THAT CHEESE if its a soft wet style cheese. If its a hard cheese, cut off the mould, do a little smell test for the rest, and if it smells fine you can eat it. But yeah mould is just a fungus. You wouldn't eat a random fungus growing in a forest unless you knew exactly what it was. So don't do it when you find it growing on your cheese!
@@ChillGoblin Yeah Google it, don't look at the results, copy/paste the URL into the video, and let someone else Google it a few days later. My pleasure! BTW I highly recommend checking out a documentary or two by the Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzman. To get a sense of what Allende actually meant to the Chilean people there's a great documentary just called 'Allende'. For a sense of the ongoing impact of the Pinochet regime on actual human beings whose family members disappeared (Guzman would say that 3000 is a gross underestimate) Nostaglia de la Luz / Nostalgia For The Light does a fantastic job of that. Also, doesn't feel like a slog as its very tastefully and artfully made. It ties together the story of Chilean astronomers in the Atacama to the story of families of the disappeared, trawling through the desert to find the remains of their loved ones, both groups seeking to uncover the past. I'm sure you'd really enjoy it.
Yeah, I believe the general rule with mold is if the food is hard and fairly dense it should be ok but if it's fairly soft and porous you should throw it out.
That's always been my favorite Bible story, the one where Jesus turns water into money. My second favorite is the one where God tips off 8 people that he's about to genocide the entire planet and then God genocides the planet and those people survive plus some animals.
Dude I was just looking for a good reputable video to help me understand this. I was writing a paper about how the internet has influenced business, and I thought about getting into the topic of neoliberalism and capitalism, but decided not to. I’m studying business in school and I feel like I’m dismantling it from the inside out, like a double agent. Anyways I’m commenting before actually watching, but I got very excited that you had a video on this topic. Thanks for the work and research, I personally appreciate it. 😊
Okay....ok. I've learnt my lesson. I get a Chill Goblin notification, I click right away. Imagine not hearing this until four days after it was uploaded: "...not every Canadian political commentator is a wierd right-wing grifter, okay? Some of us are actually weird left-wing grifters..."

Fun fact: Current minister of economy of Brazil, Paulo Guedes, worked as university professor during Pinochet regime and said "didn't knew about the dictatorship"
Sure! I got that stat from pg 101 of Naomi Klein's amazing book "The Shock Doctrine" : "In the first year of Friedman-prescribed shock therapy, Chile’s economy contracted by 15 percent, and unemployment-only 3 percent under Allende-reached 20 percent, a rate unheard of in Chile at the time." Good luck on your essay :)
My father is one of the rare ideological neoliberals, but that's probably because he went almost directly from the schools of the Fascist Portuguese Azores to the Cold War-era Canadian military in his youth, and now for the past few years has constantly and near-exclusively watched far-right USA 'news' networks all day (plus one Falun Gong-run tabloid if there hasn't been enough stuff about China's sins in the USA sources recently). It's really depressing, and kind of keeps me up at night thinking about him. A while ago when the topic of corporate consolidation came up I asked him (trying to phrase it like an honest economic question) "If a firm with more money creates greater efficiency, and greater efficiency attracts more money and leads to the firm buying up its competitors, what happens when the few most-efficient and/or largest firms eventually hold all or most of the money in the system? Won't that create a problem with circulation?" and he started stammering about "your jealousy towards the more successful" and then claimed that "severe inequality doesn't exist in countries like the USA and Canada", that it could only exist under Socialism, and concluded by saying that the situation I asked about "would sort itself out if we keep The Communism at bay". I'm kind of messing myself up psychologically by oscillating between extreme love and concern for and burning frustrated hatred of my far-right family members. I wrote a bunch of stuff about it, but "in the light of having had my coffee", it doesn't seem so healthy to post now. I'll just say that it wasn't a big problem until about ~2016, when propaganda from the USA federal election (and subsequent Republican media-mediated internal cleansing of dissent) radicalized a bunch of right-leaning and/or propaganda-susceptible Canadians including some of my family members. What ruins the USA in turn ruins Canada, and the rest of the world as well.
Damn, that sucks. Anti-leftist propaganda has melted people’s brains and destroyed friendships/families, sad to see. Hope you’re able to have a relationship with your more right wing family members, but sometimes it’s best to create distance. Also lol... the epoch times is the worrrrrst
@@ChillGoblin Oh yeah. They sent us a paper 'newspaper' a few months ago. Full colour I think, and much thicker and higher-printing-quality than the local newspapers. All anti-leftist (and anti-'leftist' as in centrist and centre-right like USA Democrats) propaganda, by the glance I got of the table of contents. I wonder if they literally have the money to scattershot them, if they're using AI targeting based on advertising databases correlated to mailing addresses, or if some far-right organization Dad belongs to gave them his mailing address? It had a huge number of articles about how China ate babies and was going to invade soon or whatever placed close to the beginning, so it's even possible the content was algorithmically tailored towards Dad's reading habits, but I don't know how tinfoil-hat I want to get. I hadn't even heard of that rag before it showed up, but since I've heard a lot of people complaining about them.
It would be great if you explained how liberalism became neoliberalism which are the same... and neither are left-wing, populace, Communism or humanistic Socialism.... in fact it's closer to facsim
Great video. One caveat which will seem petty, but just because it has for long been a controversial subject and it is always better to try to stick to the known facts: first hand accounts and forensic reports carried out decades after Pinochet's regime ended all seem to indicate that Salvador Allende did, in fact, commit suicide. He did it under a situation in which, for all we know, he was choosing between dying a quick death or most likely facing a long, protracted, tortured one at the hands of the military. And, had he suffered that horrible fate, a suicide or some other sort of fake scenario would have likely been staged, probably very poorly but with overwhelming mass media support. The fact that he committed suicide changes very little, and I would say nothing of substance, about the history of the coup and subsequent regime. A second, sadder caveat, just to date this comment: I am writing this a few days after the first round of voting in the 2021 Chilean presidential election. In Chile, we usually have more than 2 candidates, and if none of them manages to get a simple majority, the two largest majorities go on to a second round. As I write this, the biggest winner of the first round was the far right candidate José Antonio Kast, who a few years back left what had up until that moment been the most right wing Chilean party, to form his own (which he dubbed the Republican Party, in a move beyond parody). He rose politically through hyper conservative messaging targeting immigrants and "gender ideology" (although he has curbed it somewhat to gain more mainstream appeal), and blatant negationism about the evils of the Pinochet regime. One of Kast's campaign promises is to "dig a ditch" to protect the Chilean border (again, beyond parody). Another pathetic detail is that the third majority, defeating both the historic left and right wing coalitions, was won by a notorious grifter who didn't participate in any debate because he isn't even in the country, presumably to avoid paying the hundreds of thousands of dollars he owes in alimony. The second majority was won by Gabriel Boric, a young progressive candidate who is seen by the right as a socialist nightmare and, sadly, by some hard leftists as an uncommitted hipster sellout. Right now, the second round is something of a coin toss, somewhat skewed in favor of the far right. This is 2 years after a massive nationwide protest which paved the way to the plebiscite on changing the constitution, a year after that plebiscite winning by an overwhelming majority and six months after the Constitutional Convention being filled with over two thirds of left wing representatives, many of them "political outsiders" in the partisan sense, but with strong ties to grassroots/social movements. And yet the media campaign about how the Convention isn't doing its job (which began on day one, like, literally "it's been a whole day why don't we have a constitution? huh?"), aided by Presidential interference in the form of weaponized incompetence in the Convention logistics, seems to have done its job, and the infighting on the left hasn't helped either. Right now, a year after deciding to finally make profound changes to the 1981 Constitution and getting rid of Pinochet's legacy once and for all, Chile is on the verge of electing its most ardent Pinochet supporter president yet. The Constitution, when it is redacted, will still have to be approved by popular vote, and if the far right is in power they will have all the institutional power to hinder its development. Boric isn't perfect, and he is a political animal. He may even be a sellout, but not that much of a sellout that I'd rather have Bolsonaro style conservative in power. I mostly just meant to write the caveat about Allende's suicide, but I guess it is impossible right now to think about Chilean politics and not be hit again by the puzzlement and uncertainty. Thanks for reading if you did.
@@ChillGoblin the obfuscation always seemed a little insidious to me. I'm clinically paranoid. But it feels like someone is trying really hard to put a happy face on hating anyone below the median income.
Ok... So A+ for ideas, personality and production D- for rhetoric. I literally agree with every idea you have but you don't support your arguments at all and you're condescending to any other worldview with out demonstrating why that worldview deserves your contempt. This actually reminds me Noami Klein who, while being right, still chooses to lie to support her premises making her side look terrible and refuses to defend anything she writes and just presumes bad faith. As a former Ancap who is now a leftist we got to do better selling these ideas. Thanks for the effort, and for listening.
Totally fair critique! I guess I wasn't really picturing the audience for this video being neoliberals. It's more for people who are new to the left and maybe don't grasp all the terminology yet. I noticed when I started paying attention to leftist stuff that I kept hearing "neoliberal this" and "neoliberal that" and it was never really explained what was meant by that. Usually when you hear a word you can pick up its meaning in context but I found it really confusing. So I made this video mostly for people like that who might be curious about its meaning and finding a lot of available explanations too dense/ not enough cartoons. It ended up attracting more than a few neoliberal chuds (and a few self-proclaimed fascists) in the comments here who definitely did not change their mind, but hopefully it made the concept more approachable for a few baby leftists.
@@isaackarachunsky4829 Yep I think Milton Friedman sucks about that much. His collaborating with Pinochet to force this economic model on an unconsenting people, pushing this ideology around the world and compounding global inequality... The man has blood on his hands, to say the least
@@ChillGoblin I am very surprised by this take! It's very far off the mark, in my view. Considering Pinochet was a dictator, any economic policy he might implement would, necessarily, be forced on the people. Friedman knew this - he wrote the letter to Pinochet simply because he believed (rightly or wrongly) that it was the best policy. The harms caused by the policy must be compared to the harms caused by the counterfactual policy Pinochet would've had with no advice whatsoever, and both must be distinguished from the inherent harms of having a country ruled by a military dictatorship (shooting students and so on). As far as promoting neoliberalism in some sense- yes, he did that. But blaming him for the harms under neoliberalism, caused by it, is absurd to me! We might as easily blame Marx for deaths in Cambodia or China. You might object (rightfully so!) that Marx was not, and would not be, a proponent of the tyranny of Pol Pot or Mao - but likewise, if we were to point out our criticisms of neoliberalism to Friedman, give examples of its harms, he would *surely* have similar replies - that nations who inflicted these harms misunderstood his ideas, that inequality would not be so greatly increased, if only they had simply listened better to him. And indeed, he had such criticisms even of the Chicago boys - that they hadn't properly implemented "Chicago theory". Remember that what we're comparing to is Pol Pot! We can criticize neoliberalism on its merits without llikening academics to mass murderers. Edit: I misremembered the OP as mentioning Mao instead of Hitler, but it doesn't much matter to my point
It’s so great when my leaders advocate for kids to become the next rich exploiter rather than strengthening workforce regulations so more people aren’t going into poverty just to survive
As a Chilean born after the military regime, I have to say that it is hard to believe that neo-liberalism is about freedom when in order to stablish it and preserve it they need to remove people's agency.

@DSP HistoricalSociety damn right
Good shirt, good Chile pronunciation. Digging your vids man.
Haha thanks! I love this shirt
omg this bedtime story is AMAZING
Haha thanks, glad you liked it!
Thanks for this economic history lesson. Also, the color symmetry between your shirt and the background at 14:30 is very satisfying.
Haha good eye! I eyedropper tool'd the colours on my shirt and reversed it
Man, this is your first video I've seen and I was legitimately shocked at how such a high quality video was made on such a small channel, especially since it's only your second video
That bed time story is scary. I will have nightmares.
Yo this is like my ninth video in a row trying to understand neoliberalism, and that fairytale made everything “click.” Thank you for demystifying history and philosophy and economic trends into a very simple narrative that pieced those aspects together. Would buy the fairytale in print.
Aw that's awesome to hear, exactly what I was hoping for with this video :) You should check out John The Duncan's videos now
I used to have a friend whose dad was imprisoned under Pinochet. But I was a stupid teen at the time and I had no idea what that meant when it was mentioned around me, or any history of Chile. I wouldn't have even been able to point it out on the map (it's the long skinny one btw). I'm not in touch with that friend any more and now I know more about global politics I wish I'd asked her some follow up questions because wow.
Wow, that's so intense. Your friend's dad likely was tortured by the regime as well. He survived I take it?
@@ChillGoblin yeah I'd see him around the flat. He watched TV a lot.
exactly how I feel about a tumblr user from Palestine I used to follow back in 2013
this is probably the scariest fairy tale i've ever heard. XD great job!! Love it!!
Haha thanks!
It’s always wild when I’m reminded how young neoliberalism is, it feels like it just is the way things are and always have been. But that’s just the sort of thing the establishment wants people to think, that it’s ancient and inescapable.
Exactly! Blows my mind to think about in those terms
Yep. There's actually a term for this but I can't remember what it is. It's when you have competing systems but you can't imagine life in the other system because the only one you've experienced is likely the one you're currently in. They want to keep it that way.
I love when Yung Gravy talks about the downside of Capitalism.
I like Yung Gravy!
I've watched this video like five times now, and it just really explains what I had heard about neoliberalism but never understood. Neoliberalism, the thing that you and your parents definitely disagree on. Boy is that true, feels like all adults no matter how liberal themselves are also somehow neoliberal at the same time. Left or right, neoliberalism is a cancer wherever it goes.
Very true. Neoliberalism is the dominant ideology of planet earth right now, whether you're looking at a liberal democrat or a conservative neo-fascist, neoliberalism get absorbed everywhere
Thank you for explaining it! My teacher said Neo Liberalism was a part of Neo colonialism/ Imperialism, but I didn't understand what it was.
Author of that children's book called Bill Clinton a leftist? Clearly this person spent too much time at a dubstep party.
In the rest of the world. Liberals are centrist. Progressives are leftists.
Not everything in the world works exactly like it does in the USA...
That story about the "little market" sounds like something you would hear on Prager U
You mean I could've just watched this video instead of reading the entire book A Brief History of Neoliberalism
David Harvey stole everything from me 😠
I love the contentment over the Bill frog joke, lol
Hahaha I remember I made myself laugh in the moment by choosing to Bill Clinton a British accent
I really connected with the story about the little market who yearned for freedom. Spellbound, was I!
Great vid - deserves 100k more views.
Thanks so much!
Democracy is important... except in any part of a communities existence that could be of any value.. such as where they produce wealth for an owner or landlord, then democracy must be crushed in every way. But keep allowing them to put a paper ballot into a box every 2-4 years so they will keep thinking that they have some say in the way society evolves.

Seriously though, why are so many political commentators Canadian
Honestly, I think it's more that it's remarkable-sounding when someone is Canadian but not American. I'm sure if you tabulated the numbers, it's be pretty proportional between population. What burns me, though, is that Right-wingers get the grift of advocating against policies they can benefit from at any time as Canadians (healthcare here is good, despite our fallen sons and daughters insisting we have 18 hour wait times, they remove the nuance of "triage" from that equation).
They’re just better in Canada 🤣 seriously though, it might be a consequence of the “at least we’re not as bad as the US” culture up there, combined with the Great Spectacle that the US pumps over the airwaves... I like to imagine a more-flattering version of Flanders from the simpsons, a kind of “hey neighbor, would you mind NOT breaking everything? I only worry about the possibility that some of the resulting shrapnel might damage some of my stuff...” kinda situation

I really like your videos man! I dont understand a lot about specific political ideologies and what they mean, but your videos so far have been helpful! I found your last one really interesting and engaging, and the quality so far is really consistent. Im looking forward to your next one! How often do you intend on releasing videos, do you have a specific schedule?
Thank you so much, glad they’ve been helpful to you! I don’t so much have a specific schedule yet but I’m going to aim to upload at least one video every two weeks on Wednesdays. I’m just getting started so I haven’t really figured out my rhythm yet
@@ChillGoblin Great to hear. I think it's important to think first of oneself('s health) in this regard. Of course you would have a better reach and everything with a video once a week, which is in turn more stressful of course. Personally I would love to see more and/or longer content by you, it's really great! Keep it up man
@@ChillGoblin Cool! I look forward to your next one =)
You're my new favorite breadtuber. Great videos.

this such an informative video in such a simple and fun format; i love the background art, weird analogies and hilarious impressions. never stop. this is my prayer to the ~a l g o r i t h m~ godz.
DON'T EAT THAT CHEESE if its a soft wet style cheese. If its a hard cheese, cut off the mould, do a little smell test for the rest, and if it smells fine you can eat it. But yeah mould is just a fungus. You wouldn't eat a random fungus growing in a forest unless you knew exactly what it was. So don't do it when you find it growing on your cheese!
Thanks for the tip! Next time I want to know something I won’t google Ill just flash my question in a video haha
@@ChillGoblin Yeah Google it, don't look at the results, copy/paste the URL into the video, and let someone else Google it a few days later. My pleasure!
BTW I highly recommend checking out a documentary or two by the Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzman. To get a sense of what Allende actually meant to the Chilean people there's a great documentary just called 'Allende'. For a sense of the ongoing impact of the Pinochet regime on actual human beings whose family members disappeared (Guzman would say that 3000 is a gross underestimate) Nostaglia de la Luz / Nostalgia For The Light does a fantastic job of that. Also, doesn't feel like a slog as its very tastefully and artfully made. It ties together the story of Chilean astronomers in the Atacama to the story of families of the disappeared, trawling through the desert to find the remains of their loved ones, both groups seeking to uncover the past. I'm sure you'd really enjoy it.
Oh, great recommendation, that sounds right up my alley. I’ll check it out!
@@ChillGoblin Awesome, hit me up if you do, would be interested to hear your opinion.
Yeah, I believe the general rule with mold is if the food is hard and fairly dense it should be ok but if it's fairly soft and porous you should throw it out.
That's always been my favorite Bible story, the one where Jesus turns water into money. My second favorite is the one where God tips off 8 people that he's about to genocide the entire planet and then God genocides the planet and those people survive plus some animals.

I’m BACK
Dude I was just looking for a good reputable video to help me understand this. I was writing a paper about how the internet has influenced business, and I thought about getting into the topic of neoliberalism and capitalism, but decided not to. I’m studying business in school and I feel like I’m dismantling it from the inside out, like a double agent. Anyways I’m commenting before actually watching, but I got very excited that you had a video on this topic. Thanks for the work and research, I personally appreciate it. 😊
Even though I’ve known of most of what was presented, this was still enjoyable. I look forward to more! :) Solidarity down south ♥️
Glad to hear, thanks!

im writing an essay on neo-liberalism for uni can you show me where you found the source the unemployment rose by 17% during the Pinochet regime?
Sure! I got that stat from pg 101 of Naomi Klein's amazing book "The Shock Doctrine" :
"In the first year of Friedman-prescribed shock therapy, Chile’s economy contracted by 15 percent, and unemployment-only 3 percent under Allende-reached 20 percent, a rate unheard of in Chile at the time."
Good luck on your essay :)
@@ChillGoblin thank you! Handing it in now and thanks to your video you made it heaps easier!
@@hannahjewell8363 love that! Glad it helped
My father is one of the rare ideological neoliberals, but that's probably because he went almost directly from the schools of the Fascist Portuguese Azores to the Cold War-era Canadian military in his youth, and now for the past few years has constantly and near-exclusively watched far-right USA 'news' networks all day (plus one Falun Gong-run tabloid if there hasn't been enough stuff about China's sins in the USA sources recently). It's really depressing, and kind of keeps me up at night thinking about him.
A while ago when the topic of corporate consolidation came up I asked him (trying to phrase it like an honest economic question) "If a firm with more money creates greater efficiency, and greater efficiency attracts more money and leads to the firm buying up its competitors, what happens when the few most-efficient and/or largest firms eventually hold all or most of the money in the system? Won't that create a problem with circulation?" and he started stammering about "your jealousy towards the more successful" and then claimed that "severe inequality doesn't exist in countries like the USA and Canada", that it could only exist under Socialism, and concluded by saying that the situation I asked about "would sort itself out if we keep The Communism at bay".
I'm kind of messing myself up psychologically by oscillating between extreme love and concern for and burning frustrated hatred of my far-right family members. I wrote a bunch of stuff about it, but "in the light of having had my coffee", it doesn't seem so healthy to post now. I'll just say that it wasn't a big problem until about ~2016, when propaganda from the USA federal election (and subsequent Republican media-mediated internal cleansing of dissent) radicalized a bunch of right-leaning and/or propaganda-susceptible Canadians including some of my family members. What ruins the USA in turn ruins Canada, and the rest of the world as well.
Damn, that sucks. Anti-leftist propaganda has melted people’s brains and destroyed friendships/families, sad to see. Hope you’re able to have a relationship with your more right wing family members, but sometimes it’s best to create distance. Also lol... the epoch times is the worrrrrst
@@ChillGoblin Oh yeah. They sent us a paper 'newspaper' a few months ago. Full colour I think, and much thicker and higher-printing-quality than the local newspapers. All anti-leftist (and anti-'leftist' as in centrist and centre-right like USA Democrats) propaganda, by the glance I got of the table of contents.
I wonder if they literally have the money to scattershot them, if they're using AI targeting based on advertising databases correlated to mailing addresses, or if some far-right organization Dad belongs to gave them his mailing address? It had a huge number of articles about how China ate babies and was going to invade soon or whatever placed close to the beginning, so it's even possible the content was algorithmically tailored towards Dad's reading habits, but I don't know how tinfoil-hat I want to get.
I hadn't even heard of that rag before it showed up, but since I've heard a lot of people complaining about them.

Amazing video
Loved the Christian voice
Great video. One caveat which will seem petty, but just because it has for long been a controversial subject and it is always better to try to stick to the known facts: first hand accounts and forensic reports carried out decades after Pinochet's regime ended all seem to indicate that Salvador Allende did, in fact, commit suicide. He did it under a situation in which, for all we know, he was choosing between dying a quick death or most likely facing a long, protracted, tortured one at the hands of the military. And, had he suffered that horrible fate, a suicide or some other sort of fake scenario would have likely been staged, probably very poorly but with overwhelming mass media support. The fact that he committed suicide changes very little, and I would say nothing of substance, about the history of the coup and subsequent regime.
A second, sadder caveat, just to date this comment: I am writing this a few days after the first round of voting in the 2021 Chilean presidential election. In Chile, we usually have more than 2 candidates, and if none of them manages to get a simple majority, the two largest majorities go on to a second round. As I write this, the biggest winner of the first round was the far right candidate José Antonio Kast, who a few years back left what had up until that moment been the most right wing Chilean party, to form his own (which he dubbed the Republican Party, in a move beyond parody). He rose politically through hyper conservative messaging targeting immigrants and "gender ideology" (although he has curbed it somewhat to gain more mainstream appeal), and blatant negationism about the evils of the Pinochet regime. One of Kast's campaign promises is to "dig a ditch" to protect the Chilean border (again, beyond parody). Another pathetic detail is that the third majority, defeating both the historic left and right wing coalitions, was won by a notorious grifter who didn't participate in any debate because he isn't even in the country, presumably to avoid paying the hundreds of thousands of dollars he owes in alimony. The second majority was won by Gabriel Boric, a young progressive candidate who is seen by the right as a socialist nightmare and, sadly, by some hard leftists as an uncommitted hipster sellout. Right now, the second round is something of a coin toss, somewhat skewed in favor of the far right.
This is 2 years after a massive nationwide protest which paved the way to the plebiscite on changing the constitution, a year after that plebiscite winning by an overwhelming majority and six months after the Constitutional Convention being filled with over two thirds of left wing representatives, many of them "political outsiders" in the partisan sense, but with strong ties to grassroots/social movements. And yet the media campaign about how the Convention isn't doing its job (which began on day one, like, literally "it's been a whole day why don't we have a constitution? huh?"), aided by Presidential interference in the form of weaponized incompetence in the Convention logistics, seems to have done its job, and the infighting on the left hasn't helped either. Right now, a year after deciding to finally make profound changes to the 1981 Constitution and getting rid of Pinochet's legacy once and for all, Chile is on the verge of electing its most ardent Pinochet supporter president yet. The Constitution, when it is redacted, will still have to be approved by popular vote, and if the far right is in power they will have all the institutional power to hinder its development. Boric isn't perfect, and he is a political animal. He may even be a sellout, but not that much of a sellout that I'd rather have Bolsonaro style conservative in power.
I mostly just meant to write the caveat about Allende's suicide, but I guess it is impossible right now to think about Chilean politics and not be hit again by the puzzlement and uncertainty. Thanks for reading if you did.
Thanks so much for the detailed update! I've been trying to follow everything with Boric etc but mi Español esta muy burro so this is great context.

Valid way to look at neoliberalism
@@ChillGoblin the obfuscation always seemed a little insidious to me. I'm clinically paranoid. But it feels like someone is trying really hard to put a happy face on hating anyone below the median income.
Ok... So A+ for ideas, personality and production D- for rhetoric.
I literally agree with every idea you have but you don't support your arguments at all and you're condescending to any other worldview with out demonstrating why that worldview deserves your contempt.
This actually reminds me Noami Klein who, while being right, still chooses to lie to support her premises making her side look terrible and refuses to defend anything she writes and just presumes bad faith.
As a former Ancap who is now a leftist we got to do better selling these ideas. Thanks for the effort, and for listening.
Totally fair critique!
I guess I wasn't really picturing the audience for this video being neoliberals. It's more for people who are new to the left and maybe don't grasp all the terminology yet.
I noticed when I started paying attention to leftist stuff that I kept hearing "neoliberal this" and "neoliberal that" and it was never really explained what was meant by that. Usually when you hear a word you can pick up its meaning in context but I found it really confusing. So I made this video mostly for people like that who might be curious about its meaning and finding a lot of available explanations too dense/ not enough cartoons.
It ended up attracting more than a few neoliberal chuds (and a few self-proclaimed fascists) in the comments here who definitely did not change their mind, but hopefully it made the concept more approachable for a few baby leftists.
@@ChillGoblin Keep it up! Love seeing new voices in this space.
I long to live in a world where Milton Friedman is widely recognized, along with Hitler and Pol Pot, as one of history's greatest monsters.
Honestly that's not really a difficult case to make
@@ChillGoblin Do you really believe that or are you just going along with the commenter? (sorry for the late comment, just had this video recommended)
@@isaackarachunsky4829 Yep I think Milton Friedman sucks about that much. His collaborating with Pinochet to force this economic model on an unconsenting people, pushing this ideology around the world and compounding global inequality... The man has blood on his hands, to say the least
@@ChillGoblin I am very surprised by this take! It's very far off the mark, in my view. Considering Pinochet was a dictator, any economic policy he might implement would, necessarily, be forced on the people. Friedman knew this - he wrote the letter to Pinochet simply because he believed (rightly or wrongly) that it was the best policy. The harms caused by the policy must be compared to the harms caused by the counterfactual policy Pinochet would've had with no advice whatsoever, and both must be distinguished from the inherent harms of having a country ruled by a military dictatorship (shooting students and so on).
As far as promoting neoliberalism in some sense- yes, he did that. But blaming him for the harms under neoliberalism, caused by it, is absurd to me! We might as easily blame Marx for deaths in Cambodia or China.
You might object (rightfully so!) that Marx was not, and would not be, a proponent of the tyranny of Pol Pot or Mao - but likewise, if we were to point out our criticisms of neoliberalism to Friedman, give examples of its harms, he would *surely* have similar replies - that nations who inflicted these harms misunderstood his ideas, that inequality would not be so greatly increased, if only they had simply listened better to him. And indeed, he had such criticisms even of the Chicago boys - that they hadn't properly implemented "Chicago theory".
Remember that what we're comparing to is Pol Pot! We can criticize neoliberalism on its merits without llikening academics to mass murderers.
Edit: I misremembered the OP as mentioning Mao instead of Hitler, but it doesn't much matter to my point
