Liberalism - a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.
Not sure where you're getting your definition from. Seems like you're just kind of making your own up.
...the left wing of the French parliment was revolutionary. That defines left wing, leftist, left leaning, etc. The right wing was conservative. This is where we get out definitions. Both parties in the US are liberal. Specifically neoliberal.
Therefore advocating for liberalism, is, by definition, right wing. They dont want a change, because they believe they've achieved it. And by their definition, they have.
Liberalism isnt progressive. It isnt radical nor revolutionary. It was in the 1700s. It hasn't been since the 1700s.
Sorry bud. You said by definition. Then you proceeded to interpret your own definition using the history of multiple nations.
You can't go around saying "by definition" when it isn't the definition. Words matter. Maybe not to you, but they matter.
No, buddy, you read the wrong definition. I corrected that for you. Please reread and then try again.
By the definition of left wing, liberals are not left wing in the us.
Hope that is more clear and good luck on your ESL journey.
