r/neoliberal is one of the most rational, logical, polite online communities you'll ever find, and as a supporter of free speech it pleases me that Reddit would allow such a beautiful, booming hub of economic discussion, egalitarianism and calls for fostering of free democracy to exist.

Get the r/neoliberalmug. A cross between communism and socialism. Heavy regulation on everything, a welfare capitalist economy, and a globalist president that imperials the globe. There are also hints of National Socialism(Hitler) and Fascism (Mussolini) in the sense of war constantly against other people and terrorism is used in order to suppress our rights.

Get the neoliberalismmug. basically Liberals who hate both reagan and thatcher yet choose to call themselves neoliberals just to piss off both socialists and conservatives thus maintaining quality policy discussions based on academic evidence and consensus among professionals(like scientists, urban planners, economists, doctors etc) instead of bullshit peddled by far-left and far-right. Your "common sense" and historical materialism are not substitutes for empirical evidence.
they mostly believe in the fact that regulated market economies with global free trade, free movement of capital and labor leads to massive reduction in poverty and increase in human welfare and incomes of all groups. some commies think that poverty isn't declining instead the world bank has reduced the poverty line which is again bullshit, you can see poverty rate at different poverty lines here: ourworldindata.org/no-matter-what-global-poverty-line
sometimes r/neoliberal come across as smug technocrats, not that its a bad thing. Singapore is technocracy after all.

Person 1: Why are people getting so radical nowadays? everyone thinks they have the whole world figured out and they know more than consensus of professionals who worked their whole life in their respective fields.
Person 2: yeah bro, people are getting their policy takes from BreadTube, Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson, Zizek, Karl Marx and other over-glorified idiots. You should visit r/neoliberal, we only have policy discussions with proper citations of research papers.
Person 1: wow this place is kinda nice, I too love the global poor now.

Get the Anti-Neoliberalismmug. 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.

Get the Neoliberal identity politicsmug. A term used to describe a political ideology that emphasizes minimal government intervention in the economy, advocating for free-market capitalism, deregulation, and privatization. Neoliberals prioritize individual liberties, economic freedom, and limited government involvement. They often support policies aimed at reducing the role of the state in various aspects of society.
"The government's decision to privatize the healthcare system reflects a neoliberal approach to public services."

Get the neoliberalmug. E.g. Obama, Kier Starmer, Blair. Office cubicle workers and consultants, marketers and professionals. Exclusively on the winning side of the system.
People shouldn't really use Neoliberal in a sentence its quite pretentious, but it's important to remember it when it comes up
