    What’s happening in Gaza isn’t the result of “liberalism”. Liberalism would endeavor to make money off of everyone…and unilaterally killing millions of potential customers isn’t that. If this really were liberalism…the West would be arming Hamas as well.

    This is what happens when liberalism is abandoned in favor of outright fascism. They are not the same thing.

      Western liberalism, in so far as it has been co-opted by “outright fascism” or ethnonationalism represented by the Jewish Supremacist state of Israel, contradicts itself. There’s no evidence that it can correct itself either.

        Where is the contradiction? It is well known, historically speaking, that Liberals always do what they always do when it comes to fascists…they try to make money off of them…right up until the fascists kill them all.

        They are not the same group. Believing this, is fascist propaganda. They would have leftists believe that Liberals are worse. Do not underestimate this. Liberals are a cancer. Fascists are a bullet to the head.

      I’ve yet to meet someone subscribed to liberal ideology that isn’t also a fascist behind the curtains.

        Then you don’t understand the difference between them, ideologically. Liberals are free-market capitalists. Fascists are not. They are ethno-centric monopolists, who kill their competitors.

          I’ve yet to see actual free maket capitalism. I’ll let you know if it ever happens. I don’t think it is possible to truly exist.

            In terms of Liberalism, all it means is a completely deregulated market. No taxes. No trade barriers. Just unrestricted capitalism. And yeah…it’s basically theoretical.

                Technically, everything in US politics is all just variations of Liberalism. The economic differences are just slightly different shades of the same spectrum, but the underlying principles are all the same.
