Actually this thread in general is a pretty interesting one, people really calling the sub on their BS
They’re trying to use automod the same way left subs do to promote a party line. They don’t like the word leftist, the subreddit itself is pulled leftwards of the “neoliberal” politics (thatcherism/reaganism) its team wishes to promote.

a not insignificant fraction of /r/neoliberal posters feel like keynesians/social democrats using liberal rhetoric.
Yes definitely. The modteam have coasted on the “liberal” confusion and aim to suck in softer libs then pull them right. It’s the same as we do with building pipelines and catching spaces, except they’re shit at it and don’t do nearly enough purging or party line pushing. A problem they have of course is that reality does not conform to the party line they would want to push, so they would open themselves to criticism and ridicule by pushing it followed by having to do mass purges.
Reality does conform to what we push, we typically have to purge for the most inane anticommunist genocide gorillionzillion people reactionary shit ever, which is obviously quite a different problem. Generally we do a very good job of education because we have nothing to fear in doing it.
