What is your exact definition of neoliberalism, and what do you actually support?
Hi everyone, I’m asking this in good faith. I’ve read a lot of threads, the sidebar, memes, effort posts, and various explanations, but I’m still not entirely clear on what exactly you mean by "neoliberalism" and what concrete policies you support. After reading this sub, it still feels a bit like a lot has been said without anything being said. I don’t mean that as an insult, I’m just trying to understand.
From what I’ve understood, your definition of neoliberalism seems to differ from the more common outside definition, where neoliberalism is usually associated with deregulation, privatization, reduced government intervention, and Friedman and Hayek. So I’d appreciate it if someone could clarify a few things:
What would be exact definition of your neoliberalism?
Where would this ideology roughly fall on the political spectrum (I’m aware the political compass is bullshit, but just for orientation)?
How does your definition differ from the standard usage of the term outside this subreddit?
What specific policies do you support (tax levels, welfare state size, regulation, trade policy, monetary policy, etc.)?
Are you closer to classical liberalism, social liberalism, ordoliberalism, third way, or something else?
Thank you in advance!
