The "left leaning" libs predate neoliberalism by like 150 years, they never went away they just stopped having whatever bit of the spot light they had before and now they are making a very slight return. Neo liberalism is very distinct from liberalism (neo classical liberalism to be exact) and it is a distinction worth making
How is it distinct? Finance vs. industrial?
that too but more importantly neoliberalism is basically fascism with a different coat of ideological paint and a little bit less violence, they both arouse to meet the same problems that capitalism was facing and they both sorta do the same thing infact the first neoliberal government Pinoshit's Chile we call fascists. Also in general liberals make some concessions to the working class, and in general neoliberals destroy them.
