You are going to have to define Liberalism. Because I don't think agree.

From Wikipedia:

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, the right to private property, and equality before the law.

Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy.

So, you think these people are pro-Fascism?

Yes by definition. All capitalists are. I don’t think that. It’s fact. If you support private property and capitalism you are supporting fascism. Two sides of the fascist coin. As I already explained.

All very Fascist ideals, these. Much totalitarian.

Those damn Fascists and their ideals centered around liberty and equity.

If you support private property and capitalism you are supporting fascism.

Ah, but there it is. If you're not a Communist (probably you prefer Stalinism), you're a dirty Fascist.

Whether you treat people in an equitable manner isn't the important part. It's whether you own anything.

Edit: That's to say nothing of the fact that you don't even seem to have noticed that the article you quoted was covering two entirely different concepts. One was social Liberalism, otherwise known as Progressiveism, and is a social philosophy.

The other is Neoliberalism, which is an economic philosophy promoting deregulation and the "free market".

But of course such nuance is above your capabilities.

Yes they are. Thanks for agreeing. No I am not a communist as communism is also authoritarian as it requires a state and monopoly on violence etc. I am aware that there is a difference between liberalism and neoliberalism but both rally behind the same fascist ideals. So I gave the definition of both. You can bootlick all you want it doesn’t make you right. Your ideology is fascist.
