    We’ve supplied you with works showing the definition that OP and every even semi-serious political philosopher, both liberal and communist means when they say it.

    Why are you dying on this hill? Just educate yourself.

      Dude, I literally showed you the dictionary. You think that Wikipedia, the OED, and everyone else is wrong but one dead Italian communist was right. Yes, pinko maranara had half a point in that some bad things have been done in the past in the name of liberalism, but that can be said for every major political philosophy.

      I find it very telling that not one of you russian trolls can tell me who you would support in the upcoming US election.

        You think that Wikipedia, the OED, and everyone else is wrong but one dead Italian communist was right.

        There’s 30 pages of citations, he goes through every major liberal philosopher and most of the leaders, if you want to say everyone from Locke to Smith to De Tocqueville and Washington to Jefferson to Teddy Roosevelt didn’t understand their own philosophy, that’s a hell of a take.

        Do you genuinely believe that anyone you’re talking to is a Russian troll? You can look at people’s post histories.
