Abstract

The article "Present Shock: Roads from Neoliberalism to Postfascism" deals with the issue of authoritarian reconfiguration of liberalism. It starts with a criticism of a social-democratic left that can't implement leftist politics.

The right, on the other hand, is successfully depoliticizing social topics and transferring them to the language of moral panic. In accordance with Richard Seymour, the article characterizes the neoliberal ideology as an authoritarian reconfiguration of liberalism - thus in neoliberal discourse one can speak of a liberal dictatorship (F.

A, Hayek).
