MODERATORS
This really seems like you're very hung up on semantics.
Its not semantics to name and recognize the ideology and platform of the Western ruling class for the past 50 years
Okay, but when Americans say 'liberal,' that's not what they're talking about and I'm sure you know that. So yes, it is semantics.
When they say "neoliberal" that's precisely what is meant.
And why is it that the United States would have a different meaning of the word "liberal" compared to the rest of the Anglosphere/The West?
Who benefits from that conflation of terms? And, more importantly, who is harmed?
For the same reason that most of the rest of the people in the rest of the English-speaking world say 'biscuit' and they say cookie in the U.S. Believe it or not, things mean different things in different countries. Also, believe it or not, you do not to get to dictate what those things mean.
No, but the ruling class does. And they benefit from the public not perceiving what they have done to our public good.
FDR is dead and Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan killed him in the name of economic growth
Which members of "the ruling class" dictated what it meant, when did they dictate it and how did they achieve it?
