A Neo-Marxist is someone who, in contrast to Orthodox Marxists, reject the concept of economic determinism; the idea that all of society's decisions are ultimately determined by economic conditions, and that capitalist societies will inevitably collapse due to the capitalist economic system's inherent contradictions. Neo-Marxists believe that society's decisions are determined by ideology as well as economic conditions, and that it is the hegemonic ideology of the bourgeoisie that keeps workers from starting the world revolution that Orthodox Marxists (such as Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, etc) thought was inevitable.
There is controversy over the term, as some thinkers like Noam Chomsky have been described being Neo-Marxist despite preferring to be described as anarcho-syndicalist or libertarian socialist.
While there are many branches of Neo-Marxism that are not always in agreement with eachother, the writings of Antonio Gramsci and scholars at the Frankfurt School are highly influential in Neo-Marxist thought.
HyperNormalisation (2016) is a documentary by Adam Curtis that provides an excellent Neo-Marxist analysis of world history between 1975 and 2016.

Someone who is interested in several of the following things:
vegetarianism/veganism, the environment, animal rights, gay rights, mild recreational drugs, feminism, New Age spirituality, or organic produce.
Stereotypical neo-hippie attire includes loose, comfortable clothing like peasant tops, skirts and sandals. Homemade clothing is common among the truly hardcore, as it appeals to their anti-capitalist sensibilities. Long hair is popular with both males and females.
'Did you see the new neighbors? They have a daughter named Marigold, and they're meditating in tie-dyed tunics on the front lawn. What neo-hippies'

A moderate sized cult of individuals who wish to spread a message of hate. Try to emulate the Nationalist Socialist (Nazi) party of World War II Germany. It is thought that the intense hatred expressed by these individuals may be linked to an inactive sex life and/or small penis.
Dude, Joe hasn't been laid for a long time and I think all that sexual frustration may cause him to do something retarded, like join the neo nazis.

A New age or modern Hippie.
Like traditional hippies, neo-hippies are political and motivated, to some degree. Neo-Hippie could be difined as someone who meets the all, if not most, following standards: Liberal in political veiws, sports certain fashion attire distinct to the "hippie" family and plays hackie sack. Neo-hippies also may be vegetarian and have an avid, if not obsessive, desire to recycle.
Hey, look, it's Kasey... she's playing hackie sack, what a neo-hippie.

A free-spirited persuer of happiness, peace, love, unity, and freedom. Without trying to be a 'modern hippie,' or tries sport peace signs as much as posible or look like an actual hippie from the 60's and or 70's. Nor is it really about style, (although powerpop scene kids do seem to follow under the this new label's stereotypical 'style') it's more about their attitude towards life.
She's so happy and doesn't care what people think, I love that neo-hippie.

Those who continue to adhere to and sympathize with the Faqash ideology used by Siad Barre and his Faqash regime to deny the people of Somaliland and citizens of Somaliland the freedoms and liberties afforded to citizens that hail from the south of Somalia former.
Originally coined in the article 'Arr Goes To Somaliland Part V' by Mo Hussein (AKA Arr) the term Neo-Faqash also refers to those known as "Somaliland Deniers."
The Neo-Faqash typically deny the existence of Somaliland under the premise of uniting aggressively under one flag and dreaming of a Greater Somalia (which includes lands currently belonging to all of Somalia's neighboring countries).
A typical Neo-Faqash denies the existence of Somaliland whether in it's colonial, De Facto or recognized state using vague and rotated arguments.
"The Neo-Faqash constalntly dream that Somaliland gets wiped completely off the map."

Abbreviated version of Neo-Conservative. Neo-Con's represent the new face of the Republican party, and the PNAC/Zionist philosophy of premptive military action as a viable option to ensure Zionist Hegemony, particularly in the middle-east. Neo-Con's differ from Traditional Conservatives, in that their roots are in the left of the political spectrum. Former Trotskyites, who became disillusioned with the political left and joined the Republican Party during the 1980's. Neo-Con's also differ from traditional conservatives in that they favor big government and Internationalism as opposed to states rights,Isolationism and Protectionism. Neo-Con's are almost entirely pro Israel, anti Palestinian and often hold dual citizenship with both the United States and Israel.
Paul Wolfowitz is the perfect example of a Neo-Con. He holds dual citizenship with both the US and Israel, and helped to author the pre-emptive wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
