Classical Liberalism is an economic philosophy.
It's unrelated to sociopolitical liberalism.
Bold of you to assume the two aren't completely intertwined.
It's just the definition.
Classical Liberalism is very similar to today's political conservatives.
Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. Classical liberalism, contrary to liberal branches like social liberalism, looks more negatively on social policies, taxation and the state involvement in the lives of individuals, and it advocates deregulation.
I'm arguing that modern-day Democrats only care about a minority group in so far as they can monetize them.
The Rainbow Washing is explicitly economic.
None of that has anything to do with Classic Liberalism.
You don't understand how laissez-faire capitalism and rainbow washing are intertwined. Really?
One is a government policy, the other is a corporate policy. But neither is dependant on the other.
