Progressive and conservative neoliberal fusions both yield exclusive solidarity

Evidence

Both more progressive and conservative fusions with neoliberalism result in patterns of exclusive solidarity: progressive neoliberals preach recognition but not redistribution, and conservative neoliberals abandon the humanitarian face of social order. Once belief and trust in mutual and comprehensive solidarity is lost, communities of competition constitute themselves against one another: core workforce against peripheral workers, rich communities against poor, and so on. — Dieter Plehwe, Quinn Slobodian & Philip Mirowski (eds.), Nine Lives of Neoliberalism, 32
