  This was exactly my point! “Neoliberal.”

    By that I mean the renewal of capitalism over state as economic and general government policy, not “democrat/liberal.” But liberals are neoliberal as they subscribe to that ideology as a fish subscribed to the water they live in.

      At heart, liberalism just means putting the individual before the collective. So there can be lots of varieties of liberal. But a debate on terminology will quickly get quite boring. From what I can tell, this community is hardly even liberal, let alone neoliberal. That was my point. It seems that people are seeing in others the ideologies they want to see.

        I’m not debating terminology I just thought based on your comment that your mistakenly thought neoliberal meant liberal not new liberalism. It’s confusing they use the same root :)

        I disagree. I mean LW is neoliberal in they see keeping the western gov status quo as good.
