Neoliberalism

An ideology that stands to be forward-leaning and progressive, yet has proven to be backwards and oppressive and is mainly followed by the U.S. and Europe with the most of the world having adopted it

Person 1: What is the definition of neoliberalism?
Person 2:It's when you are a slave to currency, vain desires, and what powerful people tell you is true
Person 1: It doesn't say that on Wikipedia!

Neoliberalism

Neoliberalism, at it's core, is inherently defined by a deeply rooted hatred for flexitarians.

"People who eat vegetarian diets while occasionally eating meat are the fundamental enemy of neoliberalism and leading to the downfall of society"

Neoliberal Totalitarianism

The global hegemony of the neoliberal worldview—privatization, deregulation, financialization, and the individual as a market actor—to the point where it is the unchallengeable, "common sense" backdrop of all political and social life. There is no alternative (TINA). All institutions, from schools to hospitals, are remade in the image of the market. Resistance is framed as irrational, inefficient, or nostalgic. The totalitarianism is economic: your value is your market value, and your life is a portfolio to be optimized.

Example: "Neoliberal totalitarianism is when your public university stops being a place of learning and becomes a 'student customer service center' selling 'credential packages.' When your local hospital's priority isn't health, but 'patient throughput efficiency.' When you're told to solve climate change not by regulation, but by 'voting with your dollar' for green products. The market isn't a tool; it's the only permitted reality."

Neoliberal Orwellianism

The linguistic and managerial toolkit of neoliberalism: calling citizens "customers" or "stakeholders," recasting public goods as "investment opportunities," and framing massive inequality as "talent retention." It uses the language of freedom, choice, and efficiency to justify the consolidation of power and wealth, making exploitation sound like empowerment and extraction sound like growth.

Example: "The corporate memo was pure Neoliberal Orwellianism: 'We're empowering our associates with a dynamic career transition opportunity (mass layoffs) to streamline our talent ecosystem (cut costs) and enhance shareholder value (boost stock price). Your severance is an investment in your future journey (you're on your own).' It translated human devastation into the sterile, positive-sounding jargon of a business school case study."

Neologicalism

The belief that formal logical systems are the fundamental substrate of reality, and that logical consistency is the primary criterion for truth. If something is logically coherent, it is considered real or valid, even in defiance of empirical evidence. It’s logic as ontology.

Neologicalism Example: A person arguing that because the concept of a “perfect being” is logically coherent (in their view), such a being must therefore exist. They prioritize the airtight nature of their syllogism over the lack of any observable evidence, making logic the creator of facts.

Neoliberal Campism

A specific form of Liberal Campism centered on defense of the neoliberal order—the post-1980s consensus of deregulation, privatization, free trade, austerity, and market fundamentalism. Neoliberal Campism describes those who align not just with Western powers but specifically with the economic architecture those powers have built: the WTO, IMF, World Bank, free trade agreements, structural adjustment programs, and the global regime of capital mobility. They defend neoliberalism not as one economic policy among others but as the natural, inevitable, and only reasonable way to organize economies—and they defend the institutions that enforce it against any challenge, whether from the left (protectionism) or the right (nationalism). Neoliberal Campism is the camp of the Davos set, the economics departments, the policy consensus that presents itself as beyond ideology.

Example: "He'd criticize any policy that interfered with 'free markets'—except when Western powers imposed 'free trade' by force, which was always 'helping them develop.' Pure Neoliberal Campism: the market is sacred, and the West is its prophet."
