  You’re misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn’t call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

    Right okay, the parties fighting for liberty, fairness, and true democracy aren’t liberals they’re “neoliberal”.

      Neoliberalism fights for a semblance of democracy that favors economic, corporate freedom over personal liberties and the inherent human value we both care about.

        Wouldn’t that just be anarchism / corporatism similar to a deregulated syndicalism? Why use a word with an opposite meaning, “new liberalism” to describe something?
