dbergh et al, are either too stupid to understand they are arguing against their own interests or just playing dumb in pushing their right-wing agenda.

"Founded by Joe Lonsdale, a venture capitalist who co-founded Palantir with billionaire Peter Thiel, the Cicero Institute is one of the main right-wing think tanks promoting state-level bans on “unauthorized street camping,” otherwise known as sleeping in public while unhoused. Lonsdale and one of Cicero’s senior advisors suggested on Lonsdale’s podcast that the public should return to calling homeless people as “vagrants,” “bums,” and “tramps.”"

It's the same crowd that would love to eliminate all governments and all elections ..

The term neoliberalism has become increasingly prevalent in recent decades.[18][19][20][21][22][23] It has been a significant factor in the proliferation of conservative and right-libertarian organizations, political parties, and think tanks, and predominantly advocated by them.[24][25] Neoliberalism is often associated with a set of economic liberalization policies, including privatization, deregulation, consumer choice, globalization, free trade, monetarism, austerity, and reductions in government spending. These policies are designed to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society.[26][27][28][29][30] Additionally, the neoliberal project is oriented towards the establishment of institutions and is inherently political in nature, extending beyond mere economic considerations.[31][32][33][34]

The term is rarely used by proponents of free-market policies.[35] When the term entered into common academic use during the 1980s in association with Augusto Pinochet's economic reforms in Chile, it quickly acquired negative connotations and was employed principally by critics of market reform and laissez-faire capitalism. Scholars tended to associate it with the theories of economists working with the Mont Pelerin Society, including Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, and James M. Buchanan, along with politicians and policy-makers such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Alan Greenspan.[10][36][37] Once the new meaning of neoliberalism became established as common usage among Spanish-speaking scholars, it diffused into the English-language study of political economy.[10] By 1994 the term entered global circulation and scholarship about it has grown over the last few decades.[19][20]
