Thank you. Very interesting. I wonder why liberalism needs be labelled classical or universal. Is it to distinguish it from...
...the US meaning of liberal = progressive (i.e. leftist)?
The meaning of 'liberal' has fragmented, yes. Can mean libertarian, left-wing, progressive, SocJus and more.
Classical liberalism was coined to indicate a return to core values but now has economic positions & right-wing apologism
Enlightenment Liberal or Universal Liberal is harder to distort.
Yep but I don't like to allow extremes (left & right) throwing/appropriating the word "liberal", killing liberalism between them
Sometimes you have to accept that a concept has shifted or fragmented. Clarity & communication are more important.
Maybe, but permanent shifts & fragmentations of meaning are leading to massive confusion instead of clarity, things like Trump.
