haha bro neoliberals betray their values and principles every day, whereas classical liberalism is just a marriage between liberalism and nationalism (they want them to kiss, in a "traditional marriage" of course). In any case, one represses what the CIA does, while the other relishes it.

The best way to encapsulate the problem is through some logic. What you think, what you say and what you do are 3 different things, right? In a similar vein, liberal philosophy, ideologies and parties are 3 different things.

Both liberal philosophy and ideology (besides "classical") find imperialism disgusting, whereas western "liberal" parties seem to think we can have a little imperialism - as a treat.

Enter the CIA, the IMF and Citibank, because they simply go where the evil is. Evil is very lucrative... because "liberalism"? How tf does that make sense? It doesn't. You can't make it make sense. Nobody can, especially "the liberals".
