Classic liberalism was individualistic, stressing individual freedom and limited government. Sure if we want to go back 200 years or so.
The liberalism of today is the stateist model in which any and every problem is solved by the state and the group identity is more important than individual identity.

The Reformation was the renewal of classic liberalism and made possible the Enlightment. How’s that for truncated, simplistic, Cliff-Noted, history?
