Can we just have a dictionary in one of the comms? I think it would help a lot of newcomers acclimate to definitions here, both site-generated and in the context of leftist theory. For example, 'liberalism' defined by the average US citizen is very different from the one used in the rest of the world.
'liberalism'
Liberalism is when the dominant capitalists, the western ones, make some innocuous ideology, and call it a 'culture' and 'society', based off mangled historical myths and facts, under the guise of rationalism...
The sense of "liberalism" here is the academic and historical one: it's a broad term for an ideology with a commitment to the "free market" as the primary engine of social regulation. The word as it's used in popular discourse (especially in
)--as a contrast to "conservative"--is the newer and less standard definition. Mainstream political views in most of the world are all liberal: both the Republican and Democratic parties in the US believe in things like free trade, the invisible hand of the market, and so on. Communism is an illiberal tradition in the sense that it rejects that broad consensus.
