That is not what liberal means. It’s an ideology from the enlightenment based on the emancipation of the individual as being key to the emancipation of society. It has completely failed.
relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise
It definately hasn’t failed. Not yet, as those things defined still exist.
Not really unsympathetic to the tankies plight, as it is my own, but I think some of you guys are smoking a special kind of Kool aid.
Communism isn’t a magical fix for all our problems. Sure more of those ideas should be implemented into our system, universal Healthcare, a more centralized means of production, wealth caps, term limits, etcetera. All great ideas. The only way they’ll happen is with a more unified country. Or war. A long and terrible one that will completely destroy us. Now I know the idea sounds romantic, but I promise you it’s not. You’re better off coming to the table with your head on straight.
Edit: But fuck mconnel. I hope he gets Ebola and shits out his own insides
individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise
Where do these things exist? They don’t exist much in the USA for example.
Communism isn’t a magical fix for all our problems
Its aim is to fix these problems, capitalism’s aim is to make money for a small group of people using liberalism to trick them into helping.
The only way they’ll happen is with a more unified country. Or war. A long and terrible one that will completely destroy us.
The political class are united, they have the country’s workers fighting over niche issues like gay rights etc while they kill millions around the globe and do whatever it takes to maintain the privilege of a few.

I’m sorry what? Freedom of speech? Civil rights act? Freedom of assembly? The right to bare arms? Etcetera?
Its aim is to fix these problems,
How? Through violent revolution with a benevolent authoritarian leader? Seize the means and then humans just stop being corruptible shitheads? Okay buddy
capitalism’s aim is to make money for a small group of people
Capitalism doesn’t have an aim. Like communism it will do what you direct it to do. If you’re going to try to revolutionize you might as well fix the system you already have instead of going to war.
using liberalism to trick them into helping
Yeah see this is that kool-aid bullshit you guys must have been smoking in the LateStageCapitalism ban chamber all those years. Liberals OPPOSE these same assholes they are not your enemy you dumb fuck
