Did… Did you really just copy Wikipedia’s page on liberalism here? You think that’s conductive of a meaningful conversation? Try reading a book and maybe you’ll be able to imagine a better world than what the ruling class has decided for us. A Brief History of Neoliberalism by David Harvey might be a good place to start. It’s often taught in university but is well written and accessible compared to some of the more lofty rhetoric you might find.
Well, it seems to me that’s a better definition than some vague ‘ideology of state violence etc’. Objectively liberal politics (not to be confused with your own very local take on ‘libs’) is very much rooted in your own anarchism but with the addition of a limited state to things like, you know, use organised violence to keep the fascists from taking over the place

neoliberalism isn’t liberalism tho
In popular discourse it generally is.
