    There are two people when it comes to neoliberalism: People who are educated and see it for the proto-nazism that it is, and people who think it just means when you’re nice to gay people. Liberalism on its own has the veneer of progressivism but neoliberalism whittles away the veneer and exposes the child abuse, slavery, mass exploitation, genocide, and overt ties to fascist death squads underneath it.

      It’s easy to understand when we remember that neoliberalism is a capitalist marketing scheme to create an ideology with liberalism in its name but functionally opposes it, i.e. neoliberalism is a reactionary & conservative concept directly anti-liberalist.
