  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?

    I’d guess it’s to point out the fact that it’s developed under the guise of social liberty, but it isn’t a well defined term. Conservatives and neoliberals alike regard the views as liberal in America for some reason. In my mind the word helps distinguish it from liberal ideology by tacking on a modifier that can’t be equated to liberalism per se.
