That is definitely a good definition of liberalism, it is one definition, and it happens to be my favorite one! I’m not testing you or being a way about it.
What do you think about the idea, that liberalism is also the idea that individual freedoms, liberties, etc., are based on a society that enforces the individual’s right to private property? Like before WW1 when a lot of countries still had an autocratic aristocracy, and the revolutionary liberals, over a period of 100s of years, overthrew their kings and queens? I think that was genuinely an advancement for humanity.
But I think that in many cases the individual right to private property is supported by society much, much more than individual liberties of the vast majority. This leads many people, including myself, to believe that the other rights are not defended nearly as strongly as other rights.
Do you think liberalism is an ideology? If so does it have like blind spots, or biases?
Sorry it is so many questions I’m not trying to be pushy or gish gallop. Just curious what you think. Btw I didn’t downvote you, I never do that, some dork did that.
