If you go by terminology and not content you might say Neoliberals and left wing are different but really when you look at Communism and Socialism and look at neoliberals you will see the exact same thing with different terminologies. In Communism the 1% is represented by the Government, in Neoliberalism the 1% is represented by Corporations. For example, Venezuela is out of food thanks to the Communist Government that controls food distribution by controlling the seeds and grains market. During 2015/2016 Obama Administration put under the rug and neoliberal press barely mentioned a series of mega fusions that happened.
In 2015 Down and Dupont merged in a deal of 166 billions of dollars. Syngenta was bought by Chine Chemicals and Buyer bought Monsanto. That means over 80% of the seeds, grains and pesticide market in USA belongs to a single company. They control everything 80% of America eat. You might think what about cattle, fruits and vegetables? Well, Monsanto-Bayer controls 85% of the corn market and USA's cattle is corn fed. Than we have fruits and vegetables and guess who controls the fertilizant and pesticide market?
Neoliberalism and hard core Socialism are very similar if you substitute the terminology of Big State for Big Corporations. Depending on the size of the operations, like the merge of Down and Dupont, you might go as far as say they substituted the State, in another words, is a modern day Communism.
Neoliberalism is based on cultural Marxism, and we all know the School of Frankfurt took note of everything Lenin and Hitler did right and wrong and created their own version of modern day State commanded by the media, infiltrating schools and Universities.
The media or Universities don't control your thoughts like predicted in 1984, they control what you talk about, what you will read, what you will value.
