@mattsheffield@mastodon.social that's pretty much the entire message of A Neoliberal's Manifesto, by Charles Peters, Sep 4, 1982, The Washington Post:

It's astounding to read it in 2026, and realize how wrong things went, and how very illiberal neoliberalism has been.

@morgan@sfba.social Thanks for the link. It's very interesting. I like to see it spelled out so blatantly like this. He's essentially describing moderate conservatism, but he thinks it's something new. I think there's a very good reason that there was so much overlap between "neoliberals" and "neoconservatives." It was largely the same core philosophy, but with some foreign policy differences primarily.
