    I have point you at the book I linked, it’s not a small group of bad actors, the “freedom” of liberalism has always meant the freedom to exploit others when it comes into conflict with any other freedom.

    There’s a reason Cuba is not considered liberal, despite having racial equality and LGBT+ rights enshrined in their constitution. When East Germany liberalized, it meant privatization, austerity, and a regression in LGBT+ rights.

    The small group that keeps getting misidentified as liberals when they shouldn’t be are socialists and anarchists.
