Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 pamho. agtSP. Lets please define terms like liberal, conservative, left, right.... This are political terms and I'm not sure if I understand properly what you are saying, when you are using them. My political knowledge is "zero". Here is one definition from web. Did you mean the same, when using those words? ys gnd ========== Original Liberal - Also know as classical liberal. Someone who values rights over traditional values. Someone who espouses personal rights and freedom over state rights. Advocates a free market, non-government interventionist approach. Sees government as a necessary evil, whose only function is to protect people’s rights and freedom. See Classical Liberalism for more info. Original Conservative - Also known as classical conservative. Someone who values traditional values over rights. Someone who espouses traditional personal rights and freedom over state rights. Advocates a free market, non-government interventionist approach. Sees government as a necessary evil, the only function of which is to protect people’s rights and freedom. See Classical Conservatism for more info. Liberal, Left Wing - Someone who leans toward state-socialism and the right of the state to interfere in people’s lives. Believes everyone should think, talk and act just like he does and is willing to use the power of the state to force people to comply. Conservative, Right Wing - Someone who leans toward state-capitalism and the right of the state to interfere in people’s lives. Believes everyone should think, talk and act just like he does and is willing to use the power of the state to force people to comply. Neo-Liberal - Someone who believes in state-socialism and state-capitalism, as long as it is the "liberal" type (i.e. he gets credit for it), the right of the state over the individual, the need for the state to intervene and control all aspects of a person’s life. He thinks your life and property belong to the state, and a person's only purpose is to serve the state. Neo-Conservative - Someone who believes in state-capitalism and state-socialism, as long as it is the "conservative" type (i.e. he gets credit for it), the right of the state over the individual, the need for the state to intervene and control all aspects of a person’s life. He thinks your life and property belong to the state, and a person's only purpose is to serve the state. Liberal versus conservative is a false dichotomy. Both are not mutually exclusive of one another. The more one embraces either the free market or the state, the more conservatives/liberals converge on one another. The true issue that people should be focusing on is freedom versus slavery, personal rights versus state rights, the free market versus the state interventionist economy. ============== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
