So not true liberalism, but "neo-liberalism." Much like how the Nazi party was "socialist."

Lol. Joe biden is a neoliberal. Hillary clinton is a neoliberal. Al gore, Bill clinton, Barack obama. All neoliberal. No leftist who is anticapitalist (as they should be) will call themselves liberal. That's just some america-brained shit.

Neoliberalism is just how social studies people call contemporary liberalism.

In politics and economics, this is what most people will understand as “liberal”. Not just some vague references to liberty like the dictionary meaning, neither classical liberalism from the 1850’s.
