2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDeja Vu: Clinton, Charges of Sexism, and her Changing Message
Now, of course, the magic wand of fake-populist candidate deception has been passed on to the militant neoliberal corporatist Hillary Clinton. In November of 2012, as Secretary of State, she said that the TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade. Currently, however, she is compelled by the dictates of the quadrennial campaign season to pretend to be skeptical about the authoritarian measure. No doubt, Leftists who protest when she moves forward on the high capitalist program as U.S. President will be absurdly denounced as sexists by many of her liberal defenders just as Obamas Left critics have been falsely called racists by many of his liberal fans. Such are the sinister uses of identity politics for the globalist bourgeoisie.
