Notes on Anarchism

[Joseph Tracy]

Neo-liberalism is one of the more confusing terms in the political world. Many conservatives dont’ see that economically Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Bush are basically on the same neoliberal page. Conservatives are careful not to call their economic model neo-liberalism because of the word liberal. The word shows up more frequently to criticize Democrats who are in fact neo liberals but not as extreme as Republicans.  This sounds subtle and semantic but I know conservatives who just don’t get it and it and the confusion favors Republicans.
