    1. Oh yeah that one yes I agree it was a civil war after all

    2. Seems like you are unaware of how western imperialism operates

    3. I never said anything about slavery race or sexuality and equality in those regards and they arent linked to liberalism whatsoever. Best women rights in 20th century was in communist states, soviet union legalized abortion in 1921 and decriminalized homosexuality around the same time. Liberalism do not have copyright to these stuff.

      Liberty means freedom and you said you’re against liberty.

      Like I’ve tried to explain to you 10 times, the word liberalism in the context of eastern european politics or even modern western conservative political talk has NOTHING to do with any economic policies. Liberalism almost exclusively means caring about social justice. You can be a full-on communist or a “taxation is theft” libertarian, but if you support LGBT rights or dislike racism, congratulations, you’re now a liberal in current political parlance, at least in the corner of the world and political circles that this article is discussing.

      You use “liberal” as an insult because you to you it means private property, freedom to choose your own job and where you live, etc. The far right uses “liberal” as an insult because to them it means “not a bigot”.

        Words have different meaning for different people. You understand liberalism by social freedom thats fine by me, thats not how I define it and I am not necessarily talking in context of eastern europe or this article.

          Why are you even making comments here if you’re not talking in the context of this article or at least Ukraine?
