Democrats also push right. You’re seeing that in full swing with Biden.

In a right-wing system, Leftist change comes from the outside, rightist change comes from the inside.

The last pretenses of an alliance with labor have lost their credibility, it’s past time the parties be depicted as the two internal combustion cylinders on a drive shaft that only spins to the right

The weird thing is, without judging present day politics, is that historically something much like the opposite has been happening since the french revolution, since liberalism always selects new goals and the next generation of conservatives always try to (mostly unsuccesfully) preserve the state liberals already achived by the time these conservatives were born.

Liberalism is pro-Capitalism. Leftism changes, not liberalism. Democrats are liberals, not leftists.

Liberalism is the idea of giving people rights to assure their well-being. Liberalism doesn’t change, however it always finds new goals and with that new rights to secure for people. Once it secures a certain right it can be seen as integral to the ideology in the future and some of these rights are indeed the ones that make capitalism possible.

No, lol.

Liberalism is an ideology primarily concerned with Private Property Rights, ie Capitalism. Always has, always will.
