Its weird when ppl see liberalism in the sense of upholding freedom as the left imposing its views on the right hypocritically.
-
-
In this sense, neither left nor right, religious nor secular ppl own liberalism. Its exists independently & is opposed to authoritarianism.
-
And if u consider it authoritarian to say 'If u force me to live according to your beliefs, you face legal consequences' I can't help you.
-
The only alternative then is a system in which every1 can live as they wish & also force others to live their way. Then might wins out.
-
When you say "liberalism" are you defending a classical liberal view? It's a term which is used very loosely these days
-
Yes. I mean freedom & equal opportunity.
-
Classical liberalism, with its call for a limited government, is generally considered to be on the right, in modern terms
-
I haven't called for a limited government. I've spoken of freedom and equal opportunity.
-
Sure, both very good things. Supported by plenty of people on the right and some on the left.
