Yes, Authoritarians, communists and NAZIs are on the left and are “leftists”. Conservatives are in the center and liberals, libertarians and anarchists are, to varying degrees, farther to the right and are the true “far right”. We should not call leftists liberals.
Totalitarian Zealots works for me.................
Delusional children of Satan.
Demoncrats
They hardly ever use the words ‘liberty’ and ‘freedom’.
They talk incessantly about ‘democracy’ and ‘justice’, yet that is the last thing they want.
What they really want is ‘mob rule’ and ‘revenge’........................
“Capitalism” is a pejorative used by communists to imply that communism is a valid way to organize an economic system. The correct expression is Free Enterprise.
I call them regressives. Not progressive. They’ve taken us back 70 years.
Liberalism, the belief in freedom, equality, democracy and human rights, is historically associated with thinkers such as John Locke and Montesquieu, and with constitutionally limiting the power of the monarch, affirming parliamentary supremacy, passing the Bill of Rights and establishing the principle of "consent of the governed".The fact is that the classic liberal beliefs have existed for so long with us that they have become our conservative beliefs.The 19th century saw liberal governments established in nations across Europe, South America and North America.[2] In this period, the dominant ideological opponent of classical liberalism was conservatism, but liberalism later survived major ideological challenges from new opponents, such as fascism and communism. Liberal government often adopted the economic beliefs espoused by Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and others, which broadly emphasized the importance of free markets and laissez-faire governance, with a minimum of interference in trade.
The Left has controlled language for decades.
Language gives ideas and things names, meanings, and life.
Control the language and you control the people.
It has ever been thus.
Nothing they say van be taken at face value, everything (including the occasional real fact) is part of a ploy. They are ployers.
