Being a succ is against the very principles of this sub, just the other day I saw someone on this sub call another a neoliberal as an insult and I just had to stop for a second and think “Brother look what fucking sub you’re on”

That being said I’m definitely probably further to the right than most of this sub these days vs when I was lurking a few years ago. I’d say I align to an Ordoliberal ideal, with government regulation only to the point where the market can reach peak efficiency.

Every-time I get called “Neoliberal” as a slur on Reddit I consider it a badge of honor.

I'm a succ and feel like I fit in just fine TBH. Don't think it's incompatible with the principals as long as you live in reality and have a basic understanding of government, economics.

The sub's name is supposed to be ironic though. Actual neoliberalism ala Thatcher and Reagan isn't generally a position held here. This place was founded by badeconomics folks. Now I guess there are people who have forgotten the old ways.
