Kind of. But the neoliberals that fit this description better are slavish to old ideas, even when they have flaws. In a real liberal tradition, I have to believe in trying to fix those flaws. That's the kind of thinking that led to what we term the welfare state. But I think that is flawed as well, not because of what it's supposed to do but because of how it is carried out. That means I, as a liberal, have to focus on fixing the concept or replacing it with a better one. Conservatives on the other hand, tend to be against the very reasoning of the concept and want to remove it completely without replacing it.
