Liberalism is a conservative ideology, yes. It’s the ideology of capitalism and western imperialism.
Leftism is the political realm of anti-capitalists. In a political dichotomy, liberalism stands on the right with other capitalist ideologies. Leftists stand opposed to them both. Liberalism is the ideology of billionaires, of strike breaking, of economic prosperity for the wealthy being the measuring stick of how successful a society is.
Here are the definitions I’m using:
Dunn, John (1993), Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future, Cambridge University Press:
political rationalism, hostility to autocracy, cultural distaste for conservatism and for tradition in general, tolerance, and … individualism
Iain McLean and Alistair McMillan (2009), Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics:
liberalism In general, the belief that it is the aim of politics to preserve individual rights and to maximize freedom of choice.
Where are you getting your definitions from? I feel like you’re just making them up.
What absurdly hollow and self serving definitions. You might as well say “liberalism is defined as being good”
“liberalism is defined as being good”
I mean, Love Me, I’m a Liberal
