That’s my quite right: there’s still big government and heavy regulation under liberalism, it’s just focused on enclosing the Earth’s Commons and enforcing a rigid system of private property. Liberals tend not realize this, in the same way a fish doesn’t realize it’s submerged in water.

Once Castro was given enough time in power, he proved to be no better than Batista

You’re a fucking moron or a white supremacist if you think Castro was not better than Batista.

Ok, sure. But the “conservatives” that they were referring to are liberals.

Liberalism didn’t exist for most of history, so trying to invoke “history” to argue that liberalism has some kind of timeless and eternal claim to being on the left is unconvincing. Yes, liberalism was the left in the eighteenth century, but we’re in the twenty first century.

Liberals are “the right” and they sure as hell don’t believe 75% of the same things as leftists. Leftists in the west also don’t really have the power to keep liberals out of power, hence why liberals have consistently been the only ones in power for decades. Liberals on the other hand, absolutely do have the power to keep leftists out, and they will go as far as allying with fascists to murder leftists in their beds.

That is not and have never been it’s meaning. In fact, conservatives are a type of liberal.
