    What historical record? Can you point to another country taking such a extreme turn to the right while being in similar situation? And not being met with sanctions like in Afghanistan for example. I’m genuinely curious.

      While that isn’t what I was talking about, Weimer Germany is the canonical example of a similar situation, but there are many examples.

      What I was talking about is the historical record of neoliberal shock doctrines, which Naomi Klein documented well.
