No. That said Thatcherism definitely changed this country and people's attitude massively. Her saying 'there is no such thing as society' seemed to coincide with yuppies, the 80s obsession with ostentatious displays of wealth and her stamping down the unions and killing the coal industry etc. So to pretend that Waters talking about her and Reagan, which is exactly what he Says, is somehow about political correctness etc is an inversion of reality. Neoliberalism is literally the opposite of socialism. Thatcher started the rush to privatise publicly held utilities. Everything getting reduced down to a financial transaction got us here. Trump is a neoliberalist, so is Peterson and Thatcher and Reagan started it all - https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...george-monbiot
