      Liberals as in Neoliberals do. Neocons and fascists definitely don’t, but will claim they do. Progressives have thankfully figured out they can be mean. The fact most Democrat politicians are useless neoliberals doesn’t mean we have to be.

          That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of political ideologies. These are all different ideologies from fascism. Although neoliberalism and by extension neoconservatism lead to fascism. No one is a classical liberal anymore. Compared to classical liberalism, neoliberalism is fundamentally its own ideology that was developed in the 20th century. Neoconservatism is a more conservative and usually more war hawkish version of neoliberalism.

          Here’s a useful video about neoliberalism to improve your analysis.
