A fancy term for "white liberals."

Since it became unpopular to be openly racist, a new ideology was needed where white people could roleplay as saviors who could force their ideology onto the rest of the world. An ideology where everyone is as miserable as the next bearded hipster white liberal, but could buy their way to a feeling of happiness and success.

Neoliberals openly call for wars against Afghanistan, China, etc, while claiming they're bringing "freedom." This is identical to what neo-cons used to say, but this time neoliberals are painting trans / LGBTQ flags onto their bombs, thinking that this makes it better. After all, the USA needs its money to keep propping up the lifestyles of insecure, low-self esteem having, overweight, bearded leftists who mistake politics for having a personality cause they can't fall back on their looks or talent. So neoliberals will continue to support illegal drug wars in Afghanistan.

This is why people are starting to miss Bush. People would rather have a snake in full view like neo-cons, rather than snakes in the grass like warmongers like AOC, who cry for the rights of gays, etc. while driving around in a 100k Tesla paid for her through the CIA's Afghan heroin trade.

After all, neoliberals are all about keeping up their social status as being a "woke" person, but still need money to make themselves feel like they matter, hence their obsession with capitalism and everything that comes with it.
South American communist 1: Hey, look at this shell fragment from an American mortar that killed my baby and took off half my wife's face? What's this rainbow flag on it mean?

South American communist 2: Oh, that's just American neoliberalism.

South American communist 1: What's the difference between them and the Americans here in the 80's?

South American communist 1: The rainbow flag pretty much.

Rule by corporations. Neoliberalism is a type of political ideology that politicians suddenly adopt when rich people make large donations.

Examples of neoliberal interest groups include Amazon, Nestle, the Koch Brothers.

Famous neoliberal politicians include Martin Shkreli, Jeff Bezos, and Ronald Reagan.
Guy 1: Neoliberalism is just rule by the corporations, when you think about it.

Guy 2: Nooooooo it’s when the government deregulates the economy!

Guy 1: So basically, rule by corporations. Think about it? What would they try do do differently if you thought they wanted corporations to rule everything?

With collectivism on the rise, a group of liberal philosophers, economists, and journalists met in Paris at the Walter Lippmann Colloquium in 1938 to discuss the future prospects of liberalism. While the participants could not agree on a comprehensive programme, there was universal agreement that a new liberal (neoliberal) project, able to resist the tendency towards ever more state control without falling back into the dogma of complete laissez-faire, was necessary.

Neoliberalism does not all subscribe to a single comprehensive philosophy but instead finds common ground in shared sentiments and approaches to public policy.

1. Individual choice and markets are of paramount importance both as an expression of individual liberty and driving force of economic prosperity.

2. The state serves an important role in establishing conditions favorable to competition through preventing monopoly, providing a stable monetary framework, and relieving acute misery and distress.

3. Free exchange and movement between countries makes the world richer and has led to an unparalleled decline in global poverty.

4. Public policy has global ramifications and should take into account the effect it has on people around the world regardless of nationality.
The core policies of neoliberalism include: free trade, open borders, occupational licensing reform, zoning reform, carbon pricing and trans rights.
