The Cultural Revolution was an emergency measure too, in response to western imperialism.
Good luck with Trumps version- it does not look like a fun time for the USA.
What Trump is doing is crudely copying Chinas State Capitalism, Authoritarianism and Autocracy because neoliberalism has failed the USA.
How thin and flimsy the pretense of freedom and democracy, when imperialist hegemony is slipping from your grasp.

No, what I call neoliberalism is where bankers and corporates (ie capital) captured the narrative and power of government in the west and turned it entirely to their short sighted profit maximisation objectives rather than what good government does- which is to protect and preserve the collective best interests of the entire nation.
Something your neoliberal infected mind probably cannot even conceptualise- you were probably bottle fed on the neoliberal rat poison...most of you Libertarians were.
Learn from history or repeat its tragedies...
Death rates from Covid virus in New Zealand were extremely low, while in the USA they were significantly larger.
Trumps neoliberal negligence-incompetence resulted in hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths.
USA 1,232,181 Dead
NZ 4,538 Dead

Free markets do not protect the elderly and infirm.
Compassionate governments can.

You prove my earlier point eloquently-

Collective interest refers to the shared goals and benefits that a group or community seeks to achieve, often prioritizing these over individual interests for the greater good. It emphasizes the importance of cooperation and coordinated action to promote societal welfare and sustainability.
Something you, sadly, cannot understand.
When the private interests of the individual are promoted over and above those of the collective, as in Libertarian and feminist dogmas, the collective (ie community and nation) strength is degraded and ultimately, may fail. This is how empires collapse.
