Ultraliberalism

Ultraliberalism is a political term for extreme liberal politics, which can be used in different contexts.

Market liberalism

Ultraliberalism often refers to an extreme form of market liberalism; in particular, market fundamentalism is also closely associated with ultra-liberal right-wing politics, which radically seek flexible labor markets and the marketization of public services.[1]

Javier Milei, the Argentinian President and right-libertarian politician, is variously described as an ultraconservative[2][3][4] or an ultraliberal.[5][6]

Left-liberalism

Ultraliberalism, in some countries, including the United States, could mean radical, "woke", or left-leaning social liberalism and progressivism;[7][8] in this context, "ultra-liberal" often has a contrasting meaning to "ultra-conservative".[9][10]

While some American leftists or socialists, such as 'Squad' politicians, including the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are referred to as "ultra-liberal" in the American political context.[11][12][13]
