Through the electoral process the neoliberals control the state, and thus they have continuity and power even though their representativeness is questionable. The popular revolts reflect majoritarian interests but lack continuity and in most cases strong institutional bases. The author discusses the popular opposition to neoliberalism in terms of the geopolitics of revolts, the limits of pragmatism, the contrasting strategies of neoliberal regimes and popular movements, the popular response to the neoliberal policy cycle, and the issue of subjectivity and neoliberalism.
