AOC is progressive, not a neoliberal. Saying liberals want universal healthcare is a straight up LIE

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Neoliberals are not typically liberals. You can be a progressive liberal

No shit. I am replying to the meme which implies democrats want universal healthcare - they dont.

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You worded it strangely. Liberals and aoc want uhc

If liberals actually wanted uhc we'd have it by now. Instead they neutered Medicare/Medicaid because "if were nice to the republicans maybe they'll be nice to us when theyre in power". now look where we are.

Universal health care is antithetical to both market economies and economic freedom which are both core liberal principles. Liberals cannot actively support it without also confronting the inherent contradictions within liberal ideology.

Unless you're using the term "liberal" in the US sense of 'anybody "left" of fascism' in which case you're statistically correct, but mostly due to generalization.

I think the confusion is that it actually implies AOC, who is a Democrat, wants universal healthcare - she does.
