I don’t want to hear anything at all from libs and conservatives about how people are brainwashed in socialist countries when we have to put up with this.
I don’t think “libs=liberals” makes sense in this sentence, liberals tend to be in favour of democratic socialism and social justice
“libs=libertarians” makes way more sense (to me), because libertarians and conservatives work together to vote for right-wing parties, and right-wing politicians are always screeching about how bad socialism/communism is
Liberals are explicitly not socialist; they prioritize individual rights over collective rights (including the right for an individual to own private property and to exploit the labour of others) and typically just want capitalism with a safety net
They seem to have no idea what “liberal” actually means (“conservatives” in a capitalist country are just another type of liberal), so they use the term to refer to the type of liberal who cares (or, for many politicians, pretend to care) about social rights
I assume you mean libertarians?
bruh
what the? what are you referring to?

Thanks, I was a little confused about liberalism and the way it relates to libertarianism
I think I often consider liberalism and social liberalism to be closer than they actually are
I think another thing that confuses me here is the use of the phrase “own the libs” by right-aligned communities, what is meant by this phrase?
