You gotta blame US-brainworms for making people think the opposite of ‘conservative’ is ‘liberal’ instead of ‘progressive’
You gotta blame US-brainworms for thinking liberals are centrists.
Also, the “left-right divide” is not very important anymore. The “democracy-dictatorship divide” is what should guide your vote these days.
This is your brain on worms lol
That is the end-stage of US brainworms.
Can someone eli5 this for me?
Let’s use healthcare as an example. Liberalism generally believe in the power of the markets so are quite happy to privatise healthcare.
It’s pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that a healthcare system that requires private individuals to pay for coverage will result in the poorest and most unfortunate having no coverage.
The very idea of privatised healthcare being acceptable on any level is antithetical to leftist beliefs but compatible with liberal ideology, hence it is right wing.
liberal used to mean anarchist!
