I believe my title explains itself. Basically, I would call myself a Liberal, definitely a left-liberal though. However, I think Neo-Liberalism, whilst not purposefully negative ultimately has led to a degradation in western society. As such, I think it’s fair to say I have a strong anti-neo liberal view. However, if you asked me, I would still say I am a Liberal. Is this possible?

Modern social democrats/democratic socialists (who are quite skeptical of neoliberalism) 100% believe in “liberalism” in its Enlightenment philosophy sense – of embracing a modern republic, particularly one that emphasizes freedom of speech and expression, over monarchy or dictatorship.
