Disregard everything below. I mistook the comment about neo-liberalism for a quote from this guy.
I'm leaving the text up for context, but this criticism is misdirected.

It says everything you need to know that he (I suspect deliberately) confuses neo-liberal for left-wing ideology.
Neo-liberal = capitalist with a smoking jacket and a fancy degree on the wall.
SV is absolute rife with anarcho-capitalist ideology. I can only dream of a version of SV that actually carries some measure of economically liberal ideology.
My guess is this guy is confusing social liberalism with economic liberalism. But, of course, that's the entire right wing schtick these days.
I might be confused but Lunduke doesn't mention neoliberalism or left-wing ideology in that article - I did.
Of course neoliberalism is to the right of what I'd consider to be left-wing and it works very much hand in hand with conservatism but it's usually socially liberal. I think Mozilla definitely fits a weird bill, it's hard to pinpoint because the principles are largely about individual rights yet the addendum definitely feels atleast socially liberal. That said, it seems most of the causes they support are left-wing.
