Those pretend-left edgy liberals who co-opt and deradicalise leftist thought in order to protect the liberal socio-economic status quo from working-class dissent? The ones who go "No we shouldn't" straight after promising "Yes we can," perhaps? Are those the ones you are referring to? You seem to be assuming that every liberal is a neo-liberal. Were you under the impression that liberalism's core tenet - the private ownership over the means of production and almost everything else by a capitalist elite - only stems from the 70s and 80s?
