> neoliberal Rorty was not a neoliberal in any honest sense of the word. He was a liberal and a progressive, to be sure, but was decidedly not a neoliberal. If you're confused about what "neoliberal" means, think "the intersection of things that Clinton and Reagan had in common", not "the things right-wing US commentators call liberal". Most true neoliberals in Congress are on the red team, for example. Literally the only place I can find Rorty himself described as a neoliberal is in some Marxist critique of something or other. And those authors doesn't even make it through their criticism of Rorty without a blatant grammatical error, leading me to believe they don't take their characterization very seriously.
