Well, neoliberalism isn't just that, it's also "privatization, deregulation, monetarism, austerity, and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society"

So you can't really be a leftist and support neoliberalism. We're seeing the catastrophic results now.

That was rather my point. You define neoliberalism in the way I do. And I vehemently oppose it, so defined. But the post I responsed to defined it more as an issue of globalisation which is a different topic imo
