Neoliberalism is a reboot of Classic Liberalism, from what I understand. I mean social/maybe-medium-economic leftists in the sense the term is used in politics in the US currently. That is, people who oppose racism, colonialism, sexism, are pro-LGBT but are perhaps socialist economically but rarely communist.
It’s a quick video on why liberalism is more about private property than “freedom”. Or by extension, how freedom is freedom for property owners under capitalism.
What we call liberals in the US, meaning the US opposite of conservatives. It has nothing to do with Classic or Neoliberalism. I described it briefly earlier. US liberals are pro-union, want socialized healthcare, oppose foreign wars, want to reduce military spending, are pro-environment, favor restrictions on polluting industries, freedom from religion in government, prefer public services to privatized for-profit, support pro-consumer regulations on industries, would like wealthy people to pay fair taxes and support racial and LGBT social equality. These are all things that conservatives in the US disagree with.

I don’t think they oppose colonialism.
The political side who renamed Columbus Day Indigenous Peoples Day?
Democrats seem to be okay with this.
Again, are you talking about national Democratic politicians like Nancy Pelosi or American liberals like AOC?
This video by Red Pen might give some insight.
Edit: per Red Pen-
Dude. That’s talking about Classical/Neo Liberalism. Not American Liberalism.
