if you go on wikipedia, they will generally say socialism is a left-leaning liberla ideology, to say it's not is just silly
like go to any major defintion
Socialism will generally be on the left side
And even if you find a defintion where that isn't the case, how it's generally used is more important
I honestly don't really care how you choose to define it
And it's irrelevant to my point
yes, socialism is left, liberalism is also generally left, this does not make liberal and socialist interchangable fucking titles
the left wants people to think its interchangeable
I literally have never said all liberals are socialists
I said the majority of liberals today are socialist
socialists want people to think its interchangable
and you're still fucking wrong
The majority of the democrat party
you're either one or the other
ohmaigod this is so gay I don't care about how you define liberal and socialism
This is why people see liberals as retarded
"BUT THAT'S NOT A TRUE SCOTSMAN."
I don't give a flying fuck what they call themselves, you know better
Semantics is fucking dumb
its not semantics, its fucking accurate
it is all semantics
There are multiple defininitions that exist for the same word
even left and right have other meanings, like being directions
the term left is nebelous and means a lot of things as does liberal
In britain the term liberal is more like conservative here
and the same is true in Japan
These words are flexible and shift in meaning based on context and location
It's a generally nebelous term
no no
In fact to begin with it described the french courts
they are trying to move the overton window
so that lbieral is the new right
but. its not.
the left and right dichotomy isn't even really accurate
as in, there is more than just left and right
But it's just a general term
To describe the main political factions, it's arbitriary
Yes it is
Good god there are like a dozen defintions of liberal out there
