9. But the idea of limits on growth is not a Democratic one

It's from the environmental movement. If there are limitations on growth, then at one point, you must stop growing. If "if you don't grow, you die" is true of an economy, then all economies will die, at some point.

"Neoliberal" does not have to include "invest in cryptocurrency", obviously, because it long predates cryptocurrency. In fact, none of the things you mention are prerequisites of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is an idea fully compatible with the Democratic party ethos of the past, even if it's not a great idea.
