So you can't be pro human liberty anymore? That's what being a liberal is to me. Corporations are not our friends and hate them as much as a leftist. In my mind, my and my peoples liberty trumps your idea of a perfect economic system. Whatever happens along the way to socialism or back to capitalism, human rights must come first. I don't know why that concept is so hard for leftists to grasp. I think leftists are affected by a similar psyop that affects Republicans in this regard
Of course you can, but when people identify themselves or others as "liberal", they're not referring to individual liberty, they're usually referring to "liberalism", which does contain some elements of individual liberties, but far more importance is given to free market economics and free flow of capital, than it is to individual freedoms. That's why corporations can invest anywhere and borders don't pose much issue for them, whereas it is very hard and expensive for individuals to move to another country.
You're talking about lasseiz fair liberalism. Billionaires and corps are not in any way shape or form "liberal" these days unless you want to talk about neoliberals who pretend to be altruistic. It's all a psyop to divide the proletariat
No, I'm just talking about liberalism. You probably have some high-minded enlightenment-era ideals floating around in your head about what liberalism is, but I'm telling you, your ideas about how liberalism is about freedom, that's the actual psyop to divide the proletariat you spoke of. Liberalism is functionally one big propaganda operation to replace monarchies with oligarchies.
I don't think you know what you're talking about. Moreover, you seem to be lumping a bunch of things together.
Are you American? I could blame that on the lack of a proper representative democracy. Everything gets shovelled together into either one camp or the other, even when they don't have anything related to each other.
I know a great deal about what I'm talking about, but if you feel that I'm wrong about something in particular, I'd be happy to discuss it. I am not American.
