Liberalism ≠ left. Seems like Kolleen's higher education failed right there. In the US, yes, it might be but in other places it isn't.
Either way, a LOT of higher ed institutions actually teach ideologies and have entire bodies of highly biased teachers so "critical thinking" isn't something most places are into.
You are technically correct. In a communist regime, the conservatives would technically be leftists.
Well, not only there. In most European countries that are typically socialist, liberalism is considered to be right-wing… eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Initiative
Look that I’m not saying the who’s right or wrong here, or if some ideology is better than another, I’m just pointing out a flaw in the post. Either way the number of downvotes in most post really shows how people care more about their ideologies than to actually understand what terms really mean and how perspective and context change things…
Well, that makes sense. Eastern Europe used to be called the "Warsaw Pact" in response to NATO.
