      What is up with all the people calling themselves "classical liberals" recently? Very few if any seem to actually have any connection to the multifarious tradition of Locke, Smith, Mill etc.

      Classical liberalism has no authoritarianism & identity politics? John Stuart Mill thought non-whites had no free speech rights.

      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.

          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.

          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.
