%X In this commentary, I explore the question of how the way we think about time affects the conclusions that we draw about specific political questions. To demonstrate this, I consider two questions, the relationship between liberalism and neoliberalism and the relationship between neoliberalism and fascism. I look at these issues first from within the normal teleological notions of time that are prevalent and then from a more ¡®dissociated¡¯ form of temporality in keeping with the theorization of Walter Benjamin in his essay ¡°On the Concept of History.¡± My claim is that Benjamin¡¯s concept of time is anarchist and that thinking about time, history and politics in this way offers new insights into what may otherwise seem like hopelessly fated predicaments
