These are the policies of the Clintons and the centrist Democratic Party. These are the policies of capitalism. To target only the Clintons and the centrist Democratic Party is to support the fascist Trump line on our current problems. I think the important point here is that neo-liberalism also creates the conditions for a revolutionary movement. The alt-right is winning the support of young whites at least in part, because the Green Party doesn't even try to compete with the racists. They don't even acknowledge the problem! Trump is getting to be Trump because of the Left's failure to execute. This shows that the corruption most visible around Syria, a "Left" worldview corrupted by white supremacy, is probably the main issue holding back the world revolutionary movement. More, later...
