Even in those systems the positions on capitalism are on the horizontal, left to right axis. Because when talking about politics left and right are used to describe positions on capitalism.
Neoliberalism is a pro capitalism ideology therefore it’s a right wing ideology.
That people may not hold political ideologies is irrelevant to neoliberalism being a right Wong ideology. Its also not a new phenomenon by any means.
What is there to reconcile?
They are not part of the left. They are more moderate than neoliberals since they do (in theory) believe that capitalism must be at least somewhat regulated unlike neo liberals.
Well this thread is ample proof on why you can’t trust American “leftists”/“progressives”/etc.
The jingoism runs deep and there is no low they want drop to to defend their country and their golden idols.
You could just admit that Sanders can be wrong, but so many just chose to go “actually, he is not wrong, the US sometimes supports democracies instead of dictators.”
Yes it does. Supporting countries that happen to be democracies as well as supporting countries that happen to be dictatorships according to your national interests is far different from supporting democracy as a goal.
Are non yanks allowed to factcheck Sanders’ pro USA propaganda?
Neoliberalism is a pro capitalism, free markets and deregulation ideology. That makes it inherently right wing.
Do you have to be an ancap to be considered right wing in your viewpoint?
Neoliberalism is a right wing ideology, not center-left.
Its an action game with RPG like stst systems.
So non RPGs are better RPGs? You don’t have to like RPGs.
The talking points might be, that supremacist US attitude is not. It’s been there for decades.
Its not the Russians or Trump there is big part of the US that is hostile to anybody but their, imagined, version of America and places no real value on others even allies.
He didn’t accuse you of not being a leftist, he accused the Democrats™ of that.
Your comment there as well as your description as an anarchist seem to imply that your are not a Democrat yourself but you merely want them to win instead of Trump (lesser evil and all that).
You apparently called them a Trump supporter (which is calling someone not a leftist as you admit you did).
You feel disrespected by people arguing with you after you argued against the original post. Then you come here and say the quiet part loud.
I don’t want to argue, but I do want to get the last word in

Companies should not have rights, they are not people.
When they become big enough to have power over significant amounts of public discourse they should be regulated to protect public discourse from censorship.
Private entities can engage in censorship, that the US 1st amendment doesn’t offer protection against doesn’t change that.
I 've seen it. You want to rename the axes. The US Democrats are socially progressive right wingers, Zapatero is socially progressive left winger.
I am also not denying that there different dimensions of politics ideologies and that people can hold different combinations of them.
But neoliberalism is a position in the left-right axis. On the right. If you describe someone as a neoliberal you are describing a right winger. They might be socially progressive or they might not be. I also expect that whatever else they are they will primarily act based on their neoliberal convictions. Just like I expect the US Democrats (at least the high profile officials and politicians) to put neo liberalism before social progress.
