Your take on: “Neoliberals run on a platform that the government doesn't work, and when they get elected, they make sure if it.”

Hmm. I would argue conservatives run on the platform that government doesn’t work more than liberals. They both do these days, but conservatives have always been more in that camp (that’s why conservatives have traditionally wanted smaller government, lower taxes, less government spending - built on the premise that government doesn’t manage these things well). Liberals inherently want to give more things over to government, suggesting they think inherently it runs better than conservatives do at least.

Government itself makes sure it doesn’t work w the bureaucracy on working levels, people who have limited drive hired in in droves and limited incentives for them to want to improve the process.

My take on it is that’s an ignorant statement. 🤷🏼‍♂️

People in certain circles have started to use "neoliberal" as a catch-all term for things they disagree with, even though it may be inaccurate. I think OP's statement can be more specifically ascribed to conservatives in general. Neoliberalism is a very particular school of thought IMO.

By neoliberals I meant people who believe that corporations are better than democracies at achieving social ends. A lot of Republicans in the US would match this profile, but so would a number of Democrats.
