I agree with that.

But as much as I’m against communism, I do not approve of the marriage between business and state. I want to keep those two entities separate. And neoliberalism is a marriage between business and state, where the government picks winners and losers in the market place.

Free markets are the way to go.

Pinochets policies had nothing to do with neoliberalism. He was mostly influenced by Milton Friedman and the Austrian School.

Neoliberalism is a leftist movement. It was an attempt by social democrats to save their leftist illusions after the end of the cold war and the demise of the eastern bloc.
