Newsvine’s The Otto Show has written an article trying to define liberalism. Otto takes a look at classical liberalism and compares it to what liberalism means in America today:
It’s as if the left has extracted the thin and transparent political correctness fluid out of classical liberalism and redesigned an ideology around a fed, yet hungry, newly empowered political correctness: equality is manipulated into affirmative action; free-enterprise has evolved into socialism; property-rights comes with it’s own political foreclosure policy; individualism has morphed into victimization through various forms of class warfare like gender, racial, ethnic, economic – is there any geopolitical example in America that isn’t wrought with injustice, prejudice and suffering? Oh, that only government can solve, of course?
He says the term “liberal” should be replaced with “leftist.” Seems to make a good point. Check it out.
