Neoliberal

A word less intelligent marxists/leftists use to pejoratively describe anything or anyone related to markets, choice, accountability, or privatization when they are unable or unwilling to engage the issue in a more nuanced manner.
"It's really just a symptom of the neoliberal hegemony," a hungover Russell Brand blurted out, resulting in a standing ovation from his Wesleyan University sociology 101 peers.

Neoliberal identity politics

A tactic used by neoliberal Democrats to smear Progressives/Social Democrats as 'racists', 'misogynists', 'white supremacists' or a combination of all three. Ever since Bernie Sanders neutralized the term, 'socialist', neoliberal Democrats can no longer effectively red-bait their left-wing opponents, so they have weaponized identity politics against the Left that legitimately gives a shit about social justice. Neoliberal identity politics has largely been bolstered by ignorant, young upper-middle class "intersectional feminists" who smear anyone who criticizes Hillary from the left as "sexist".
Progressive: Man, urban poverty would really be a lot better if we stopped electing neoliberal Democrats like Hillary who keep cutting social programs and deregulating the banks that destroyed the economy in 2008.
Tumblr Feminist: WHICH OF HILLARY'S POLICIES?? I'VE NEVER HEARD YOU CRITICIZE ANY OF THESE OTHER SO-CALLED NEOLIBERALS! YOU'RE A SEXIST!
Progressive: Yep, that's neoliberal identity politics for ya.

neoliberal

A neoliberal is a pussy who believes in the rights of all Americans under the constitution like freedom of speech, just as long as you agree with him. If you do not agree with the cowardly neolib, he will insult you safe and secure from behind his computer on the Internet chat room posting boards.
For a fine example, please go to Craigslist, Chicago section and search in the R n R or Rants and Raves section. Plenty of childish examples of the neoliberal cowardly mentality there. http://chicago.craigslist.org/
