The Left is always there to point out how false everything they say is, on this point however they stay silent. I seems to benefit both of them, the left have the perfect boggy man (neoliberalism is literally the source of all evil) while the right seems to use is mostly to oppose leftist schemes. The never talk about free markets when they are talking about their own policy.

The Left has been pointing out that capitalist markets are coercive rather than free since socialists coined the term "capitalism" for the economic system whose coercive structures they were criticizing, something like 150 years ago. If you aren't noticing it, you aren't paying much attention to the Left. This often happens when people, for example, mistake the dominant faction of the US Democratic Party (center-right neoliberal capitalists) for "the Left."
