Re: Liberalism - How Far Has it Strayed From Original Concept?
Well, sure. It all depends on definitions really. The people who are called liberals now are very much against most of those principles. They kind of give lip service to some, but really are against freedom. And so are most conservatives. They want an authoritarian regime that serves their purposes. The libertarians are the philosophically purest party and are liberals in the classic sense, but have little influence.
