    Neoliberal, originally speaking, is closer to bottom-right, insofar as its obsession is with deregulation, free trade, and market solutions.

    In common usage it’s become a catch-all for “Anything less than revolutionary that I don’t like”.

      Ah ok cheers for the background, seems the meme checks out if that’s its original definition.

      The definition I was running with is this:

      A political orientation originating in the 1960s, blending liberal political views with an emphasis on economic growth.

      Emphasis on economic growth means inherently subscribed to capitalism, hence my top-centre interpretation.
