I really hope this past election will cause neoliberalism to finally die. We're already seeing signs of it (granted, being replaced with fascism, which isn't exactly better, but historically, fascism doesn't last long).
Also, when corporations have to choose between any semblence of even mild socialism (social democracy) or literal fascism, they will choose fascism every time. This is a big reason why we have Trump today; just look at the massive amount of funding that The Daily Wire gets (namely from the Koch brothers) as opposed to any lefty independent media (specifically media who is openly anti-corporate and usually doesn't take corporate money, like Kyle Kulinski for example).
The fact that the corporations had to choose at all is also an indicator that neoliberalism is dead. Corporations much prefer neoliberalism over fascism due to longer amounts of social stability.
