>socialism isnt liberalism.
ok what is social democracy then lmao.
>communism is not liberal
the soviet union was kept afloat through its collaboration with liberal democracies
>neither is fascism
debatable. italian fascism shares the liberal obsession with institutions and checks and balances. arguably only nazism, maoism, arab nationalism, islamism and stalinism count as statism in the 20th century
>WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE GRAPH SHOWS DOMESTIC POLITICAL TERRORISM DUE TO ONE MOTIVE OR ANOTHER
then what the fuck is even your point? how can you argue that conservatism is more violent than liberalism when genocide occurred under the stewardship of ur-liberal joe biden?

social democracy and marxism have many liberal elements and argue from liberal moral principles based on human rights. the central premise of marxism- that the proles are oppressed and exploited is based upon a liberal worldview where that is bad/ violates human rights.

yeah, at that moment i was in response to you saying i think conservatism is left-leaning. again, if you really want to think that i was agreeing with you from the start here;
>only if you have a retarded definition of left and right
then you are free to do so. you're the one who objects to the idea that you have a retarded definition of left and right, not me. i fully accept your definition is retarded. i think liberalism is NOT leftist, not that liberalism is right-leaning which i guess you could say if you think that political ideologies are either left-wing or right-wing, which i don't. but again idrc that much because i agreed with you from the beginning, with the caveat that your definitions of left and right are retarded.
