> The term neoliberalism has no meaning, it's purely used in a pejorative way by leftists.
Wrong
It is used pejorativly but that does not make it devoid of meaning
It refers to the social policies instituted in the 1980s that (attempted to) inserted competition into every facet of human relationships
It was instituted by liberals
It was new (and a dreadful policy that has lead to the discrediting of liberalism generally)
Hence "neo-liberal
You are welcome
