    You affirmed a belief of my not knowing the meanings of certain terms.

    because you show that you don’t know what they mean

    If you gave such an assertion, and did so in good faith, then you should be able to give an explanation of how I am understanding the terms. Arguably, you should have sought more information before anchoring to such an narrow conclusion.

    this is complete bullshit, and utterly disingenuous on your part, acting as if I have to construct your entire moral, political, social and economic system to tell you that you are fundamentally wrong, in something that you are demonstratively wrong on.

    What has been your motive in responding to my comment?

    calling out someone pulling a leftist cargo cult, because that generally harms the left by spreading misinformation and the idea that the left is the uninformed teens that the right paints us as.

    Is your motive closer to an interest in broadening perspective and comprehension, or is it rather closer to an impulse for fostering discord and division?

    don’t you have a crystal chakra realignment to get to? because this sounds like “spirit science”.

      Based on your own enlightened, non-“cargo cult” understanding, from the books or other sources you would feel most inclined to recommend, how would you summarize the essential transitions in cultural ideals, respecting personal relationships and values, during neoliberalism?

        The defining difference between liberalism and neoliberalism is the expansion of a focus on the economics, mainly adapting and building on some of the differences between the east and west block during the fall of USSR, there fundamentally wasn’t a change in cultural ideals, personal relationships and values in comparison to its predecessors.

            the school of neoliberal ideology only came into inception post WW2, and didn’t catch on until the thatcher and Regan era, and only actually gained much power after the collapse of the USSR, in part because it purported to explain the collapse of the USSR

              Other than Reagan and Thatcher rising to highest office, which political or economic events would you identify as most significant for the transition from the period of embedded liberalism to neoliberalism?
