Yes and no. The motto of Reddit r/neoliberal is still
Free trade, open borders, taco trucks on every corner.
Free trade = capitalist. Open borders & taco trucks = woke.
Specifically in the US the liberterians are just edgy republicans. Specifically in Europe liberterians are also more anarchist while liberals are more middle-of-the-road and ready to make compromises.
