    Once more, and I’ll probably be dogpiled this time as well, but democrats are neo-liberals and republicans are (traditionally) classical liberals. “Conservative” is short hand for “socially conservative liberal”.

    Liberalism is a right wing ideology, designed by political philosophers and gamed by yee olde barons and aristocrats of yesteryear to give us this soft-imperialistic oligarchy that has been built on the backs of labour in the west, as well as the wage slavery in the east.

    Case in point, the Tories in the UK are also liberals, whose Brexit campaign solely wanted to prevent immigration - although getting rid of EU fiscal regulations was probably the real reason.
