I stand corrected. I just assumed so because he’s writing about the anti-trump coalition, and defending the “liberal world order”

- the_gastropod 4y agoLiberal is one of those words that is almost meaningless. It can be used almost synonymously with "progressive" at times. But it's also, when used in this context, it's more about free market capitalism, individualism, etc. Things we tend to associate more with conservatism.

- havblue 4y agoI thought the best term is simply "neo-liberal": the progressives in power that are mostly interested in staying in power and not actual human progress. The same term applies to neo-conservatives as well. Ideology is more a means to maintain power and less about a realistic goal.
