To those struggling with the term "liberal" I would recommend reading the following article that explains neolibralism. It is a bit hard going but worth the effort.

Neolibralism

If you do not get to the end take away this paragraph at least.

It may seem strange that a doctrine promising choice and freedom should have been promoted with the slogan "there is no alternative". But, as Hayek remarked on a visit to Pinochet's Chile – one of the first nations in which the programme was comprehensively applied – "my personal preference leans toward a liberal dictatorship rather than toward a democratic government devoid of liberalism". The freedom that neoliberalism offers, which sounds so beguiling when expressed in general terms, turns out to mean freedom for the pike, not for the minnows.

Once we understand the issues we can begin to address them and using the correct terms without conflating the ideas of liberalism and nelibralism is a good start.

Enjoy
