A modern-focused entity documenting the casualties of the late-20th-century ideological turn towards deregulation, privatization, free trade, and the dismantling of the welfare state. Its memorial extends beyond direct deaths to include victims of deindustrialization, the opioid crisis, for-profit incarceration, student debt slavery, and communities left behind by globalization. It portrays neoliberalism not as an economic theory but as a lived, lethal social reality.
Victims of Neoliberalism Memorial Foundation Example: The foundation could create a memorial wall with the names of Victims of Neoliberalism like the former factory worker who died of a "disease of despair," the public school teacher who lost their pension after privatization, and the family who lost their home in the 2008 foreclosure crisis—linking each to specific policy decisions.

It documents those killed, persecuted, or whose progressive social projects were destroyed by anti-communist violence: victims of US-backed right-wing dictatorships in Latin America and Asia, victims of the Red Scares and blacklisting, and casualties of wars (like in Korea and Vietnam) framed as necessary to "contain" communism. It argues anti-communism has been a more prolific and less-accounted-for killer.
Victims of Anti-communism Memorial Foundation Example: The foundation's archive would highlight figures like Salvador Allende of Chile or Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, not as failed leaders, but as primary Victims of Anti-communism, assassinated with Western complicity to crush socialist experiments, with the subsequent dictatorships producing millions more victims in their wake.
