It seems like you are confusing two different terms, liberalism and libertarianism.
- javcasas 3y agoCan you explain the difference? Googling it is quite hard, as it mostly throws me biased views.
- atombender 3y agoIn the U.S.: "Liberalism": Broadly, what other countries call social liberalism, i.e. liberty, individual rights, equality, all rooted in Locke's notion of the social contract. "Libertarianism": An American revival of what's formally called classical liberalism. Broadly: Small government, strong individual rights, free market capitalism, etc.
- Ancapistani 3y agoNo, they are using the term “liberalism” in its historic meaning, not the current, US meaning.
