What is called neoliberalism is the same as what most libertarians derisively call “liberventionism. [definitional]

“Libertarian” is not the same thing as a neoliberal. Neoliberalism is an economic philosophy, whereas libertarianism is a socio-political philosophy that happens to include support for free-market economics. More importantly, most libertarians are hard-core anti-interventionists! What is called neoliberalism is the same as what most libertarians derisively call “liberventionism.”
