[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

The problem is that your theoretical model is an artificial construct, one 
that exists only in your own little clique of people and bears little or no 
semblance to actual neo liberalism.

This random repurposing of existing terms in economics and international 
relations into terms of vilification doesn't constitute any theory that I 
am aware of.

And people are trying to get work done here and not play politics. In case 
it escaped your attention
