    Oh, classic liberalism? Many today equate liberal with neoliberal.

      Neoliberalism is a reboot of Classic Liberalism, from what I understand. I mean social/maybe-medium-economic leftists in the sense the term is used in politics in the US currently. That is, people who oppose racism, colonialism, sexism, are pro-LGBT but are perhaps socialist economically but rarely communist.

        I don’t think they oppose colonialism.

              Again, are you talking about national Democratic politicians like Nancy Pelosi or American liberals like AOC?

                This video by Red Pen might give some insight.

                Edit: per Red Pen-

                It’s a quick video on why liberalism is more about private property than “freedom”. Or by extension, how freedom is freedom for property owners under capitalism.

                  Dude. That’s talking about Classical/Neo Liberalism. Not American Liberalism.
