the remaining differences are mostly about aesthetics and not about the use of violence to maintain hegemony

Who tf is down voting you on a week old thread.
Tankies are sensitive to diverse thought.
For conservatives, who are a type of classical liberal, the private property question is explicitly paramount, and all considerations of human rights, etc., are maybe given lip service and informal recognition. But materially it is deprioritized and in our era getting wiped out, such as “neo-liberalism.”
See, this is why I think classical liberalism gets a bad name. Conservatives only like to claim they promote classical liberal ideas because it sounds like a cool throwback. When confronted, they play the same authoritarian card they claimed to fight so hard against.
Eh, I feel that a lot of problems are simply blamed on corporations without understanding what the real problem is. I don’t give a shit about the corporations, I just think it leaves a lot of problems unaddressed. For example, everyone loves to rail against Amazon for being a shitty company (which they are), but many of them continue to give Amazon money so they can get free 2 day shipping for some meaningless piece of landfill fodder. This allows them to lobby for harmful policies which in turn gives them more money and so on. If people made a reasonable effort to not give Amazon money unless they adjusted their moral compass, Amazon would be change immediately.
However I believe that what is in your heart, the desire for freedom and liberation
I feel the same way about your ideas too! The current system is bullshit and too few people have too much control of peoples’ lives.
I disagree, but that’s the definition.
I think it’s an ideology that has eventually come into existence because of human progress. Similarl to how monarchies have basically gone out of existence because of human progress.
There are definitely gaps in the implementation of liberalism, but those are largely exploited by objectively bad policies like corporatism and central planning.
And even though it does have gaps, it’s an enormous jump forward. It’s also important that those gaps are filled with forward thinking solutions and not past mistakes.
Origins don’t change the definition.
Sick burn.
Gladly, liberalism: a political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others, but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty.
“Can you use it in a sentence?”
Gladly: Liberalism emphasizes individual freedoms, democratic governance, and the protection of civil rights.
That’s not what liberalism is, even hyperbolically.
