    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”.
