While there are splinter factions that sincerely advocate a return to authoritarian and feudalistic politico-economic models, most influential people in the West advocate neoliberalism, which most Westerners don’t recognize as an ideology and just accept as fact.

For the longest time, I’d really only hear Neomarxists use the term, but, especially in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis and the Great Recession, I’m kind of wondering if the term has become more mainstream.
