Coexistence, is it possible and is it desirable?

54. Er... no, actually

Neoliberalism (and neoconservativism) have nothing to do with partisan alignment.

Neoliberalism refers to economic liberalism - that is, lasseiz-faire economics. The difference between neoliberlaism and traditional liberal economics is that classical liberal economics is a philosophy divorced from the state, while neoliberalism advances the use of a strong state to create and enforce lasseiz-faire economic policy. Yes, there is a deep irony to it.

Neoconservativism is unrelated to neoliberlaism (though most neoconservatives are also neoliberals.) It is contrasted against traditional conservativism (or "paleoconservatism) because traditional conservativism is protectionist, isolationist, and disfavors a strong state. Neoconservativism on the other hand is socially conservative, yes, but favors a state that is strong in areas aside from economics, interventionist policy, and lacks even the slightest sprinkling of populism. Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are actually closer to Paleoconservatives like Pat Buchanan then they are to neconservatives like Dubya or Paul Ryan.
