Zack NoLastName the problem is you're arguing with dictionaries and equating neoliberalism with liberalism. They are not the same thing (neither are neoconservativism and real conservatism).
Let's be clear here. It was conservatism that preserved slavery. Liberals ended monach rule, ended slavery, ended segregation, got women the right to vote, created social security and unemployment, created unions, etc etc
The real definition I gave, is the only one not subject to twisting by politicians. Liberalism is a synonym for progressivism, with an emphasis on generosity and personal freedom. It's an ideology that says that we can and should try to change things for the better (as opposed to conservativism, which seems stability through not changing things, and neo-conservatism which seeks to "return" things to an idealized version of the past that never actually existed).
Neoliberalism is just neoconservativism dressed in a thin veil of being slightly liberal on some social issues, which is why they try to sound like liberals while usually voting like neocons.
Of course, since basically all right-wing ideas have been tried in history, liberals tend almost exclusively to left-wing (aka populist) politics.
