Neoliberalism is just fascism with extra steps. The US wouldn't be where it is now if the democrats hadn't embrace and restructured the party to neoliberalism in the 90's under Clinton. Fascist gateway drug.

    but the gains from chipping away the fabric of society make the line go up.

    Yeah, I think "form" needs to be replaced with "stage" or "evolution". A "form" implies there is a way to transform back to a previous form or that it's somehow independent in nature from another form. An evolution or stage is better to describe that it's the inevitable result of class structure that governs our lives.

    But, I also don't have context around the quote. But a lot of critics of capitalism try to do this thing where they pretend it's "just corporatism" or try to disconnect it from "pure unfiltered organic capitalism" which would somehow be good.
