And yet the right keeps calling the modern left “liberals”, proving that the right has no idea what it’s up against. That is why the right will lose. You can win a war if you can’t even identify the enemy. Every time I hear a person on the right refer to these violent collectivists as “liberals”, I know that person is blind and an idiot.
To the best of my understanding, Ancient Greece introduced true democracies - of the “Liberals”. The Liberals were the Free People. Ancient Greece ran on its Slaves. They had no vote.
That is the way that I think of the word, “liberal”.
