It's what the arc of history bends toward.

The more liberal it is, the more history bends.

When history is an ouroboros eating itself forever, that's neoliberalsm

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

There are multiple definitions.

Sometimes, it's just short for economic neo-liberalism (like the Marxist academic journal that I'm reading right now characterizes certain people in the field of economics).

Other times, it's basically your average Democrat.

Liberalism itself came out of the late 1700s and generally stands in contrast to conservatism.

Generally, it means paltry welfare state and social privileges or rights for minorities under capitalism, though this is often contested.

Think of liberalism's definition and then think of how fascism is defined and it leaves a lot open to interpretation.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Damn! I thought you were being sarcastic...

I kinda thought you were making fun of people, particularly in the ML movement, using the term willy-nilly without thinking much about what it stood for.

...I, err, over-thought it.

cw: violence

Liberalism is when you're a teacher looking after a bully and a small kid, and the bully constantly boasts that he's going to beat up the small kid, and the small kid keeps bringing the fact to your attention but you ignore him. One day the bully acts on his threats and starts to beat up the small kid, but you break up the fight. The right thing to do would be to send the bully to detention, but the thing the school administration wants you to do is send them both to detention.

Liberalism is doing what the school admins want you to do.

Liberalism is also doing what the school admins want you to do after being bitter about the injustice about their rule that stopped you from doing the right thing.

Fascism is the same scenario as the above except replace the school admins rule with something more ghastly, like you must ignore the bully or something.

Liberalism is a cult made up of people born in the astrological sign Libra. Once a year, during an October night, they all simultaneously look up at the night sky, raise a set of scales and chant their creed; RULES. ORDER.

How can they all look up at the sky at the some time you ask? Because they're all crackers living in the northwestern hemisphere.

Liberalism is the perfection of human freedom, democracy and justice. American liberalism is a beacon of light for the world, spreading prosperity and peace to the globe. Liberalism elevates the best minds, who are capable of solving problems of racial justice, healthcare inequality, crime and violence, and rules-based international order, using informed, rational, rigorous, altruistic and beneficent thought, unmatched in human history. The only reason that anything is wrong in the world is because liberals are obstructed by those got dang Rethuglicans.

Brutal communist ideologues look for simple answers and are largely incapable of grasping the wisdom and nitty-gritty details of the absolute infallibility of the process of gradual reform, and the absolute superiority of means-tested market-based solutions for all social, economic, geopolitical and environmental issues.

The wisest and most effectual thing any person can do with their life, other than running for office in the Democratic party, is to vote Democratic. There is no greater service to one's country, and it is your social duty to uplift these people who know what's best for all of us.

Disagreeing with my obviously correct takes. (A very wrong answer)

[-] honeynut@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

liberalism is just human nature sweaty

Liberalism is when wholesome small business landlords have their voices heard. Communism is when it is illegal to have joyous hearty laughter and a jolly good time (the foundation of landlordism).

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

It's actually improperly capitalized. It should be LiberALism. Now that I've corrected that, it should be very apparent:

LiberALism is the belief that famed pianist, Władziu Valentino Liberace, will one day reappear in the US state of Alabama and lead his faithful fans to a promised land of pure melody.
