Ok Jeet, how about instead of Classical Liberals we go with "Actual Liberals." We're trying to differentiate people who believe in real liberal values from: a) hardcore campus leftists, and b) people who casually use "liberal" to describe anyone left of conservatives.

Anti-imperialism has a long actual historical classical liberal pedigree.

Not so much a false pedigree but as a distance from Modern Liberalism. Think of recent usage of "classical conservative" or "reformocon". Merely rhetorical distance.

Historically (and currently) socialists are mass murderers/genocidaires/authoritarian dictators. Why does Jeet call himself a socialist?

Many early progressives advocated eugenicists, yet you have no such qualms with the label.

Why call yourself a progressive when historical progressives supported eugenics? https://newrepublic.com/article/128144/dark-history-liberal-reform …

If you reject evolution of pol terms (and I'd love if there was some standardization) you'd have to rename most political parties as well. Democrats & Republicans aren't the same as once were. Conservatives, Liberals (pol parties in other countries) adds to confusion of terms.
