Mind explaining "neoliberal?" Define liberal in this context and what is it in NAFTA et al that make it neoliberal?


I've hardly invented the term "neoliberal", if that's what you're implying.
It is commonly used by economists, political activists and the mass media to describe the recent (the past 25 or 30 years) set of national and international economic policies that seek to secure the reign of the so-called "free market" by calling for business domination of all social affairs with little, if any, countervailing force. While neoliberal economic policy advocates (global) social austerity measures as a way of providing an ample low-wage labor force, it doesn't necessarily advocate "small" government as it seeks to bring government apparatuses (the military, legal structures, etc.) under the control of the corporate order. Thus the "neo" in "neoliberal" is not simply a chronological referent, but an ideological one as well particularly in its articulation of a "positive" role for the state (though many neoliberals wouldn't actually admit this) in the organization of the global economy.

Never said I was a revolutionary. I just happen to admire the Zapatista's intellectual critiqe of and political opposition to neoliberal economic policy (as embodied in such policies as NAFTA and CAFTA and in such institutions as the WTO and the IMF).

Some very solid shows over the weekend.

The Cubs are in one of their worst stretches in a long time.... and the Cubs bring in a record crowd.

They were hammerin' the Cub fans that bitch about the product and show up in full force to the game.

It truly is Chicago's largest beer garden.
