We need a Lemmy dictionary so someone can finally clarify what people mean when they say “liberal”
The list will be long, and some item will be contradicting.
Not it is super short. Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.
Naw, those are free market capitalists your thinking of.
Liberalism is the ideological backbone of Capitalism. Capitalists are Capital owners, not just supporters of Capitalism.
Seems like it's much simpler than that. At least for right wingers:
"Someone who advocates for ideas that frighten me."
Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.
