so here is an accepted definition of liberalism.

Quote:
A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority... source
personally i find nothing objectionable with it nor can i equate it in anyway to this definition of fascism;

Quote:
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism... source
so what is it exactly we are debating? are we redefining the english language on the fly, on our own?

this is very confusing to old gringo living in the outback of new mexico.
