Neoliberalism

[LWolf]

17. I've been using that term here

for many years.

The fucking "centrists" adopted both the words liberal and progressive a long way back. The DLC co-opted those terms and began a long, slow, Orwellian hijacking of those terms to suit their neo-liberal, yes, neo-liberal, agenda. Just read the language used by their think tank, the "Progressive Policy" Institute. It doesn't really matter what you call it. "Centrist," "New Democrat," "Third Way," "Pragmatic," etc.

The only label they HAVE stayed away from is, ironically, neo-liberal.

There's a reason for that. Meanwhile, for those who have no fucking clue, I saw a thread on the front page of this forum earlier today that explained it well; I'll go find it:
