It did, but different from Today's modern authoritarianism and identity politics. That's why they call themselves "Classical Liberals." Most CL's aren't pro-colonialism either.

Then why call themselves classical liberals since the actual historical classical liberals generally supported colonialism. It seems like claiming a false pedigree.

Can I get a citation? Is that in "On Liberty"? I'm not incredulous. Just curious. It would be nice to have the reference handy.

Can you cite some Eastern economic philosophy that was free of any authoritarian jingoist tendencies. Think about it on your way back from Whole Foods about some non-colonialist economic philosophy you think would be a superior model to the present corrupt neoliberal mostrosity.

Ah, yes, we shouldn’t identify with Mill because he may have been racist. Lincoln also claimed blacks shouldn’t vote. Let’s just scrap everyone past 2014.

I think a lot of people who would, under normal circumstances, identify as leftists, have found more resonance with a libertarian approach to social issues rather than a progressive approach. There is a difference btw.

Leftists are somehow for less government and more liberty? NAH.
