the right wing ideology of liberalism

WTF do you think "liberalism" means? It's the opposite of authoritarianism, it's not really left or right.

    Liberalism is individualist above all in my mind. What advances your personal freedom is the best thing for everyone. Neoliberalism is a post-Keynesian consensus that believes this is most achievable through equal opportunity in the free market.

    I also like Phil Ochs definition of liberal from the 60s, "ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center when it affects them personally.

    Liberalism is an economic system.

    OK, that's a new one to me. Know that when you use the word in most contexts that's not what people think you mean by it!

    Well, most people have been miseducated on politics and the economy in the United States.

    Most people in the imperial core are miseducated in politics, that is not "everyone", that is a small minority of people.

    Is that your normal reaction when people bring up imperialism during a political conversation?

    Just a term I've never heard of which definitely implies some particular views. Anyway, I'm not here to sling shit, I would actually like to know what your views are so feel free to give me the quick pitch. Don't expect to convert me, but I don't want to just dismiss what you're saying just because it sounds a bit mad without context.
