  The closest I have come to a definition is to explain that the political ideology of liberalism is one which puts the greed of the ruling class before the freedoms of the working class. I don’t need to argue about definitions to make that point. We live in a neoliberal world. Look around you - you are forced to work for a living, because of free market economics. You don’t have the ability to just go and live or work anywhere you want. Who has more freedom, you, or billionaires?

        So many now believe the propaganda that liberalism, especially neo-liberalism, is “left.”

  Let me ask you something - does your definition of liberals essentialy make them socdems?

      Then what it is? I can’t recall any other commonly used definition that would discard the OP’s

        The issue is that “liberal” in itself doesn’t say anything about where you fall on the left/right spectrum. It just says you want less regulation of some sort, which can apply to a lot of things. To rail on “liberals” on the internet without using more precise language is naive at best, deliberately inflammatory at worst.

  Perfectly summed up.
