    Aye, but "classical liberalism" is another term for those principles that goes back hundreds of years on both sides of the Atlantic [1]. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Burke https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Burke

      Ahh, that page says Burke was a conservative, and nothing about him reads to me as classical liberal. Indeed, > Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics; civil liberties under the rule of law with especial emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government [0] While your link says, > Burke was a proponent of underpinning virtues with manners in society and of the importance of religious institutions for the moral stability and good of the state. While not entirely orthogonal, these political positions are also not fully compatible. In particular, religion almost always impinges on individual liberties - especially bodily autonomy. And Burke clearly supported a state that classical liberals would have wanted to tear down. Anyway I think that’s enough responding to non-sequiturs for today.
