304- Democracy at Risk: Europe's Troubling Path With Michael Anderson

Michael Anderson returns to discuss how neoliberalism has captured Western European politics and why Americans should be concerned about similar trends emerging at home.

• Neoliberalism believes everything in society should operate like a corporation, including universities, charities, and NGOs
• Universal ID systems in several European countries link citizens' personal information, banking, and health data, creating potential for government control
• UK police make approximately 30 arrests daily for "offensive" online posts, showing the erosion of free speech
• The World Economic Forum promotes global governance that removes accountability to citizens
• European farmers face strict limitations on land use and livestock numbers under neoliberal environmental policies
• America's two-party system has created a pendulum effect that has prevented deep entrenchment of neoliberal policies
• Silicon Valley elites are major promoters of globalism due to their worldwide operations
• Conservative philosophy focuses on individual rights while neoliberal philosophy focuses on group control
• Observe what's happening in Europe as a preview of potential threats to American freedoms
