Edit: to libs wondering around, yes, I’m a hexbear user, but one with a bit of liberal courtesy if we must interact yet…

I’ve had never seen so much comments here…
“If Evo Moralez was elected a third term, this will’ve proven that Bolivia’s system was bureaucratic, dictatorial and despotic. However, if the same were to happen to the current president, Lai Ching-te, this was a sign that Taiwan, despite its struggles against ‘CCP and KMT disinformation’, was still a flourishing liberal democracy”
Or something like that…
Liberal, to me, is anyone who supports any part of pro-capitalist ideology and goals, whether it be
- settler-colonialism/right-libertarianism (America’s process to becoming such country)
Also known originally, as propetarianism/classical-liberalism, a le John Locke and Adam Smith…
neoliberalism/IMF structural adjustment of exploitative debt and cuts of social spending, privatization (post-cold war economic policy of capitalism, a l’Amerique, to expand capitalism,)
pro-west regime-change NGOs, gulf-state-esque collaborators, and comprador nation-states (post-cold war foreign policy, to defend capitalist interests)
Liberals change and flow, by their material conditions and situation… in fact, libs only occurred as a result of bourgeois (bourgeois now is a historical term to me) classes trying to justify themselves as a whole, as the new dominating system
Eg. One liberal in rev. France may support beheading monarchies, while a whig lib or Kerenskyist lib in the U.K or Russia may support the Royalty itself

That’s how it is for me… that being said, you’re probably gonna criticize me, are ye?
It’s funny… this is one of the closest times this megathread is quite relevant to the subject matter at hand - Ireland…
I came here for JT initially, and finally getting to ask him something will make my history full circle…

If you’re here, please put a question about “was General Dessalines’ decision to kill off the remnants of French slaver class in Haiti a genocide or not, regardless of whether you agree or not with the action?”
Then we’ll hear of them kkkrakkas complain about white genocide, when they search up that based purge… lmao
Meme aside, addressing the title, no shit Sherlock,
Lemmy was created by a Marxist Leninist, nicknamed “Dessalines”, after a revolutionary Haitian leader who even went so far as to slaughter the remaining French colonists, to destroy any remnants of colonialism
