Ultraliberalism
Term for extreme liberal politics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ultraliberalism is a political term for extreme liberal politics, which can be used in different contexts.
Market liberalism
Ultraliberalism often refers to an extreme form of market liberalism; in particular, market fundamentalism is also closely associated with ultra-liberal right-wing politics, which radically seek flexible labor markets and the marketization of public services.[1]
Emmanuel Macron, a French President and centrist politician, has been accused of "ultra-liberal present for the rich" by some members of the yellow vest movement or the left wing of France.[2] He labelled himself as a "centrist liberal", refusing observations by critics that he is an "ultra-liberal" economically.[3]
Javier Milei, the Argentinian President and right-libertarian politician, is variously described as an ultraconservative[4][5][6] or an ultraliberal.[7][8]
Left-liberalism
Ultraliberalism, in some countries, including the United States, could mean radical, "woke", or left-leaning social liberalism and progressivism;[9][10][11] in this context, "ultra-liberal" often has a contrasting meaning to "ultra-conservative".[12][13]
Some American leftists or socialists, such as "Squad" politicians, are referred to as "ultra-liberal" in the American political context.[14][15][16]
