I was trying to say Neoreactionaries basically only strongly agree on these criticisms, not the particular solutions how to ameliorate such problems. I hope that is apparent from the paragraph?

How are you going to distinguish them from conservo-libertatians, then? I would imagine they would also agree with much of those criticisms and will disagree as to the proposed solutions.
They don’t use the particular concepts of Neoreaction, things like the Cathedral or the idea Progressivism is the child of Protestant Christianity or why it drifts leftwards. There will be no clear line as both conservo-libertarians and anarcho capitalists are big inspirations to the neoreactionary world view and form a big part of its bedrock. It is observed many reactionaries tend to be ex-libertarians.
I was under the impression that they also tend to agree about certain social issues such as traditional gender roles (though after posting that comment I found out that Moldbug agrees with progressive views about homophobia); am I wrong?
Neoreaction is basically defined as “these particular criticism of Progressivism & Democracy”! I’m not sure you will find common agreement among neoreactionaries on anything else.
That sounds like a hell of a package deal fallacy to me.

What is the package?
Isn’t “oppose democracy for a specific set of reasons” a natural category?
Added, based on your other comment: “skepticism against Progressive Orthodoxy” is a lot weaker than opposing democracy.
