Neoliberalism refers to the resurgence of free market ideas that characterized classical liberalism in the 19th century. It is based on the idea of economic freedom and limited government involvement in economic interactions between individuals.

Neoliberalism is very similar to classical liberalism. Both ideologies believe in privatization, deregulation, globalization, free trade, and limited government. However, neoliberalism differs in two key aspects. First of all, the idea covers the belief that monetary policy should be governed by a central bank. That means the central bank can decide how much money is in circulation and at what the interest rates should be.

Second of all, the idea covers the belief that the private charity is no longer sufficient to support the poor. It is therefore believed that government welfare is necessary, although in a far more limited amount than we see present today.

Communists hate LGBT people and would throw us in labor camps.

Capitalists welcome LGBT with open arms because we recognize that everyone has value. We are better off in America than communist China.

I'm pretty sure if you polled capitalist figures from the same period of time that these quotes are from, you'd find them saying almost the exact same thing.

These views are way more indicative of the time these men where born and raised in and way less about what economic system they espoused. The only difference is that because they were authoritarian dictators they had the ability to persecute minorities much more easily than in a democratic system.

That's a pretty goddamned big difference.
