→Denmark/Sweden/France/California are not Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. Stop pretending that liberalism equals fascism or communism
: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)

::Silencing opposing views is common throughout history. In the early colonies, there was not religious freedom at first. If you were a religion other than what that particular colony was, you faced discrimination.
::And yes I agree with you that Denmark/Sweden/France/California are different in many ways from the USSR and the Third Reich. That is why liberalism is separate from communism/fascism. In short, there is a political spectrum. I know you are aware of this matter. Let's not waste time debating the obvious. There is not a single encyclopedia you could buy or find in a library in the last 100 years that confused liberalism with Nazism/communism.
