Comment on Lemmy is the best social media
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 5 months agoThen why are you trying to push this idea that “liberal” = “fiscally liberal”? Not only is it not true, it’s not even useful, as we have words like “capitalist” to describe the similar economic thinking between Democrats and Republicans (and I’m using similar very loosely here, it’s only similar when compared to something like socialism).

Liberal = Liberal, yes.
Liberalism is the dominant ideology of Capitalism, Capitalism the the dominant economic structure.

Answer the question. Why?

I’m not “pushing” anything. Liberals are Liberals, pretending Liberals aren’t Liberals is goofy.

Why do you care if the US uses the term “liberal” differently?
