For someone confusing Leftism with Neoliberalism your feelings on the matter are quite extreme.

Neoliberalism is pretty leftist, though. It's based around "equality of opportunity" which works out about the same as "equality of outcome" once you figure out that outcome = opportunity + random factors. The thing is that the west has been in such a leftward drift for so long that genuine right-wing ideas are totally missing from the discourse.
