I personally disagree. I think EA should try appeal to many people across the political spectrum, from socialists to libertarians. Aiming to be apolitical (in most cases) is required for this. Neoliberalism, while I’m personally sympathetic to it, has a very negative name across the political spectrum so linking EA with it would probably hurt the EA brand a lot. Collaborating is possible insofar it’s just asking each other for advice behind the scenes. I don’t think people should be secret about liking neoliberalism either, I think the current state of overlap is around where it should be.
