Last I checked liberalism is about individual rights and liberties, not moral majority legislation and wanting government to interfere in personal lives

Conservatives looking for tyranny everywhere except within themselves and their own ideology

@LittleAl016 not really. Considering classical liberalism was pro-free markets and the communalization of land value. Classical liberals like Adam Smith gave infamous rants against landlords, Thomas Hodgskin and John Stuart Mill supported socialist production, David Ricardo was influential to socialists like Karl Marx. Eventually a reactionary coalition of landowners, industrial monopolists, and politicians pushed for neoclassical paradigms to take over economic policy in favor of monopolies, and what we call industrial capitalism. This is why early libertarian socialists who were favorable to free markets, were anti-capitalists. Classical libertarianism was rooted in classical liberalism. Though I agree that modern neoliberalism comes from neoclassicism, and the capitalist system. Politically however liberalism means limited government and individual rights and liberties; which socialists would further radicalize into anarchism or libertarianism, the abolition of State.
