Neoliberalism forms one distinct faction within a fractious New Right coalition.

Evidence

Anyone who has made a study of politics realizes that the conventional left-right continuum needs to be splintered into numerous subsets and offshoots in order to make any intellectual sense of the cacophony of argumentation to be found therein. … Every historian of the New Right in America acknowledges that it is a fractious coalition of groups who may not share much in the way of doctrinal overlap: classical liberals, cultural conservatives, theocons, libertarians, old-school anticommunists, anarchists, classical Burkean traditionalists, ultranationalist neoconservatives, strict construction federalists, survivalist militias, and so forth. A standard narrative of historians of the modern right is that a number of these different factions declared a tentative truce from the 1970s onward under the rubric of “fusionism,” and that this détente was a major factor in their resurgence from a low point after the Great Depression. … Rather than plow old furrows, we shall provisionally accept this basic account for our own purposes, primarily to insist that “neoliberals” should be approached as one individual subset of this phalanx. — Philip Mirowski, Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste, 109
