Neoliberalism used be the enemy, twenty years or so again. Now it is neonationalism. And the progressives who used to be concerned about neoliberalism are now neoliberal themselves, since it turns out that neonationalism is worse. Even when it is neoliberalism, in part, that created the nationalist reaction.
It is like when we used to think that the enemy was a conservative view of the literary canon, when the true enemy are people who despise literature in the first place.
