better?
Popper was talking about people actively subverting liberal democracy
Who defines liberal democracy?
It has clear political science definition
watch this
Thoughts on this discussion about Kaepernick on Mock The Week, anyone?: https://youtu.be/5VPUDQ3MnY0?t=20m7s
I dont believe it does
was the beginning of the united states a liberal democracy?
🤔
Three years of Undertale
time flies I guess
Also the way most liberalists use it now, include very anti traditional takes on classical liberalism

Most Liberalists advocate for social democracy?
when i was active in the server
thats pretty much what the conversations turned into
and rejecting Republicanism of the Federalists
It's not like Plato had some things to say about it a couple thousand years ago...
Didnt the anti-federalist win the argument in the end in the US?
no
it was a compromise
The US became federalized
but we got a bill of rights with it
Yea the us is a mixture of federalism and anti federalism
Slowly however the anti-federalists are getting their wish though
how so?
The slow creep of federal power and centralization
didnt you mean the federalists?
Federal power is federalist
Federalist
1. relating to or denoting a system of government in which several states unite under a central authority.
I would argue most of the admendments and article 5 are all anti federalist. Cause it puts the people or the states above the federal.
They were more confederationists
Yes, sorry. Got them backwards. I colloquially just say 'centralized' vs 'decentralized' instead of referring to federalism
than anti-federalists
fair enough
just watched that, actually laughed my ass off at her fucking tantrum
