Everything I don't like is neoliberal, and the more I don't like it the more neoliberal it is...!

The people who call themselves neolibs online are not really neoliberals in the classical sense (which would be like Thatcher and Reagan), but instead are basically people who are reclaiming the term since it is used at as a catchall criticism of anything to the right of socialism nowadays, regardless of whether that makes sense. These are the people Suprak is talking about, who are generally pretty left socially, and are center-left economically (basically they think that both governments and the free market play an important role). I generally agree with most of what they typically believe.

This is exactly with what I just said in the post before.

and the bolded part is funny because I almost named you as a textbook example. You like left wing social things, but generally speaking you are against any structural change such as Universal Healthcare and free college that would require a realignment of our economy.

Not to belabor the point and I know youve reneged on support, but Bolivia is a great example of it! You were all in on the OAS report and coup in Bolivia because the experts told you it was the right thing to do, nevermind the fact that it was literally just an (obvious) ploy to undermine a successful socialist government.
