(3,284 posts)25. Neoliberal is an actual word with meaning that applies clearly to some politicians
Last edited Wed Aug 31, 2016, 12:28 AM - Edit history (1)
As a retired teacher, I say vocabulary is a good thing.
I rarely see the word Neoliberal applied incorrectly.
I only use it where it applies, and every time I do, I can explain at length and in detail how it is accurately used.
If it hurts someone's feelings, then it means the person feeling the pain still has a soul left, and may not
want to see themselves as a Neoliberal, even if they actually do lean that way on policy.
But admittedly, Neoliberal and "guilt" do not often go together.
