    Libertarianism and neoconservatism are basically just neoliberalism too. (Socdem is different, but there is no real movement toward such, so it doesn’t matter who claims it). Libertarianism is just neoliberalism before the Kochs realized they could have their ideology right in the mainstream instead of some third party. neoconservativism is basically neoliberalism ‘s foreign policy, but mostly when republicans do it. (Bush was called a neocon for invading Iraq and so on while Obama didn’t get such a label even though he continued those policies).

      “Libertarianism and neoconservatism are basically just neoliberalism too.”

      Yes they were both created after the advent and implementation of neoliberalism, however I could see libertarianism spreading to classical liberalism too, especially considering the resurgence of classical liberalism is within Russia and their cozy nature with the conservative collective here in the states.
