I appreciate that history is not a neoliberal's strongpoint, but I was referring to the thing that not so long ago you hitched your wagon to: neoliberalism.

Even Fukuyama - who provided the great sustaining myth of "the end of history" to the neoliberal project - considers it an "extreme" aberration that went too far, and has turned into something very much self-defeating. It's a bit longer than the average tweet thread (from where you usually develop your political philosophy, it appears), but his most recent book is good. It shows how liberals can, and should, be open to self-critique, especially after they've wrecked so much.
