    Bruh…

    Neoliberal means different things in different countries… Just like liberal does

    Why are you bolding the part a Canadian said?

    Why not stop using such a general link? We’re talking about modern American neoliberalism, you want the father of that?

    It’s James Carville.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Carville

    You want an explanation on modern American neoliberalism:

    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/neoliberalism/

    It’s not as easy of a read as Wikipedia, and it’ll.probably go over your head.

      Huh, that article on Carville doesn’t contain the string “neol”. One might think that if he were considered the “father of American neoliberalism,” a Wikipedia article would mention that.

      The Stanford article is a bit of a hodge-podge of “lots of people say lots of things, but nobody really wholly agrees.” I appreciate your bringing it to my attention. My take is that neoliberalism is “Libertarian Lite,” which is a whole lot closer to Republican conservatism in America than it is to Democratic center-right.

      Go on and say you’re going to block me now.
