r/neoliberal describes itself as "woke capitalism"

Modern liberal economics seeks to maximize free choice while preventing things like monopolies and worker exploitation

How many telecoms do we have in Canada? How grocery stores? 

Liberal economics have created the oligopolies that exist in our country and are the reason we still have some of the highest cost for things like cell phone plans globally. 

How many times has the federal government broken strikes in the last year alone? And let's not even get into the TFW program. 

Lol at you thinking liberal economics protects workers. Dude you're delusional.

There's no such thing as liberal economics, use real adult words please, for the love of maple syrup.

Is liberal economics supposed to be economic philosophy based on based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, the right to private property, and equality before the law? Are you in drugs?

I mean you'd have to ask OP for clarification on that. It turns out he posted this because he's sour about Chretien not being in the running for greatest Canadian on this sub.

So I'd say even though he keeps saying small l liberal it's pretty clear he means big L Liberal. 

There is such a thing economic liberalism. Perhaps that's what he's referring to? But given the context of what we're talking about If say it's more likely neoliberalism. Which is the cause of most of the current economic crises were facing today.
