completely agree, but language matters, and so : "liberal ... (who believes) ... (the underclass) ... has to pull itself up by its own bootstraps". have we lost the meanings of our words?
- icebraining 13y agoWell, in a great part of the world, "liberal" is still associated with classical/neo liberalism. Some US right-wing libertarians will tell you that the word was co-opted by left statists and that it doesn't fit them, since they're not for freedom, as the word implies (their argument, not mine).

- was8309 13y agothank you
- eli_gottlieb 13y agoI actually agree with the libertarians there. It should be pointed out that every major party in the USA, including the Democrats, are basically neoliberals. At the very left extreme-edge of the Democratic Party they have one or two social democrats.
