Even when you'd used the reply button in the post he or she complained about.What's this "we" shit? You [some user name I can't be bothered copying] are the only one complaining.
I honestly haven't a clue what he/she/it is talking about.
Classical Liberalism.....the beliefs of Modern Conservatives......and the opposite of modern "liberals".....
The modern liberal is using New Speak.....hiding their big government, anti private property, anti freedom beliefs behind a word that does not describe who they really are...they are not liberal.....they are authoritarian...
What Is Classical Liberalism?
"Classical liberalism" is the term used to designate the ideology advocating private property, an unhampered market economy, the rule of law, constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion and of the press, and international peace based on free trade. Up until around 1900, this ideology was generally known simply as liberalism.
The qualifying "classical" is now usually necessary, in English-speaking countries at least (but not, for instance, in France), because liberalism has come to be associated with wide-ranging interferences with private property and the market on behalf of egalitarian goals.
This version of liberalism — if such it can still be called — is sometimes designated as "social," or (erroneously) "modern" or the "new," liberalism. Here we shall use liberalism to signify the classical variety.
