Then answer the question. crickets... The question as presented cannot be anwered because it is a tautology... a circular argument that assumes what it is trying to prove. It tries to blur the definitions of liberal and conservative as they have evolved, and tries to assign credit for the accomplishments of classical liberalism to modern "liberalism/progressivism", which is really a seemingly inoffensive term for socialism/communism. Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Liberals were NOT what 21st Century "Liberals" are today. They were much more like 21st Century Conservatives. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism |
