This article will follow the rise of Bell Pottinger, a PR company whose emergence coincided with the rise of Thatcherism in the 80s and was instrumental in promoting neoliberal ideology to the public in the U.K. and globally in the late 20th century. Discourse on the “fake news” phenomenon is often centered around the prevalence of disinformation proliferated on social media and the internet by actors willing to push political agendas. Less attention has been placed on the activity of similar actors engaging in the spreading of political propaganda before the widespread adoption of the internet by the masses. An analysis of Bell Pottinger’s operations in the pre-digital era show a pattern of support for neoliberal politicians and regimes, going so far as to carry out political propaganda campaigns for autocratic actors.

J. Murray
The neoliberal political economy is best framed and analyzed by identifying how it services the economic domination of the capitalist owners of production, the bourgeoisie. This work examines how the combination of expanded corporate power, the arrangements of national and international state apparatuses (roused by a reorientation of economic policy), and newly imposed limitations on collective action has helped to maintain the epoch of capitalism by stifling the development of a counter-hegemony that seeks emancipation. Within this analysis rests a critique. With the long-term effects of capitalist crises jeopardizing us once again, we have an opportunity to further the effort for revolutionary change. How then do we step into engaging that political project? How do we elucidate the truth, end the illusion, and create action?

Rather than increasing competition in the market and decreasing government spending, neoliberalism has driven states to compete by appealing to transnational corporations. Direct subsidization to attract investment has become one of the most egregious normalization of this process, and Hollywood and the film industry have become some of the most active participants to this system. Indeed to have a functioning film industry, government subsidies are essential, commonly paying out up to a third of the production costs. Per employee these are some of the highest subsidy rates of any industry, and with most of the world participating, they offer little long-term benefit to anyone besides the most global Hollywood studios. Rather, this creates greater dependency on the Major film studios by local government, workers, and small production companies to attract large production spending, but end up supporting an ever expanding system of subsidization.

This polemical essay explores the meaning and function of the concept of neoliberalism, focusing on the serious theoretical and political limitations of the concept. The crux of the argument is that, for those interested in overcoming the exploitative and oppressively destructive elements of global capitalism, opposing "neoliberalism" (even if best understood as a process or a spectrum of "neoliberalization" or simply privatization) is both insufficient and potentially self-undermining. This article also goes into some detail on the issues of health care and climate change in relation to "neoliberalism" (both conceptually and the material processes and policies that this term refers to) to highlight the theoretical and political arguments made throughout the article.

Abstract This article is condensed from three chapters of my Marxist Class Theory for a Skeptical World (Haymarket, 2018) and from a longer article based on these chapters. It is based on a talk on Marx’s politics’ delivered at ‘A Bicentenary Conference: Karl Marx at 200’ at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario. Canada. I am thankful to the participants at this conference for their comments. Put simply, Marx’s politics is about class struggle for state power to build socialism, a society of popular democracy, by overthrowing capitalism. In this short article, I will explore different aspects of this single idea, from Marx’s political writings, as I interpret them, and I will do this schematically. This is the first part of the article. In the second part, I will extend my articulation and interpretation of Marx’s politics, and briefly and schematically, relate this to some aspects of the Leninist legacy. Needless to say, this article does not provide a detailed exposition of Marx’s or Marxist politics (for this, see Das, 2018a).
