I don't think neoliberalism is a real ideology; the term, to be honest, is a pejorative used by leftists to discredit anybody further right of social democrats.

I don't think neoliberalism is a real ideology; the term, to be honest, is a pejorative used by leftists to discredit anybody further right of social democrats. The people accused of being neoliberals are rarely ideological. Liberalism (not the American kind, rather classical liberalism) is about adherence to a scientific worldview and making policies based on sound evidence.
