Depends on how many conservative's lies are exposed.

Liberal = American

Neoliberal = Somewhat gay + hijacked the republican party

[Demand Destruction]

Neoliberal want some social programs with large company rule.

[Heskey]

Neoliberal is the true 'classical' definition of liberal. It's kind of like conservatism where government is kept small, privatisation occurs and the most important point is a laissez faire economy. Liberals want interventionism, large central government, higher taxes and things like that. Around 200 years ago the term liberal actually was closer to neoliberalism today.

Liberals -
Protect the middle class and the poor
For fair shake for everyone
Reduce inequality

Neo-liberalism is New World Order conservatism that ends up producing more inequality in the USA. It has nothing to do with liberalism as we know it.

[Politics dude 101]

Liberals advocate more government regulation of industries, progressive taxation and a generous social safety net. Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy that advocates deregulation, open markets, free trade, globalization and a relatively small role for the government in the economy. .
