→Denmark/Sweden/France/California are not Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. Stop pretending that liberalism equals fascism or communism
Liberalism is bad. But not everything that is bad is automatically liberal. [[Political science]] done in a valid way recognizes there is spectrum of political beliefs from right to left. It is cartoonish and a reflection of binary/limited thinking to think that the words liberalism and bad are synonymous.

:I have to strongly disagree with you here. Obviously, Denmark/Sweden/France/California are different in many ways from the USSR and the Third Reich, but many of the principles of their ideologies are the same. Communist ideology is strongly for labor and against business. They strongly oppose religion and support state atheism. They oppose the family and think children should be wards of the government. The same principles of liberalism.
:Fascism is socialist, just a more militaristic and nationalistic version of it. Franco was conservative, but Mussolini and Hitler were socialists. They also practiced gun control, and Hitler supported animal rights and environmentalism.
:We can see the fascist side of liberalism today, with the [[antifa]] movement rioting and trying to silence conservatives.
:These people may not be called liberals by the mainstream (and in some ways they differ), but clear similarities exist. They should definitely be re-added. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 22:26, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
== Democrat does not equal liberal. Historically, many Democrats have not been liberals. Not all American slave owners were liberal. George Washington owned slaves. ==
