    I guess market liberalism is just what I described, no? The liberation of the economy. And sorry if I phrased the wiki-link confusingly, this was just about how the label “neo” gets slapped onto political ideologies that have a comeback. Just like in neoliberalism, neofascism and neonazism.

    Later on I argued that neoliberalism goes hand in hand with conservatism and fascism because that’s often been the case. Just look at US politics for example. The liberal party in Germany was made up of a large group of Nazis just after the war. Basically all over Europe or countries like Brazil and Argentina you can see the neoliberal politics of fascist parties and the fascist tendencies of neoliberal parties. Both work together to claw back at the democratic infrastructure and human rights. Sure, both also have different goals in the long run. But they frequently team up and support each other. And both are threats to democracy and human liberation.
