    That would be moderate or centrist, but I’m not sure why you’re asking. Liberalism is the opposite of authoritarianism and fascism, not the synonym of centrism.

      Libertarianism, not liberalism, is the opposite of authoritarianism. I’m not referring to the right-wing, capitalist ideology.

      See the political compass for a way to visualize political ideologies. Liberals rest in between libertarianism and authoritarianism, usually in the center, but I’d say they generally lean towards authoritarianism more than you would think.

          Those terms are already defined. What are they teaching in secondary and post-secondary schools?! For the love of everything decent, we definitely need to bring back and implement classical liberal arts education alongside STEM, beginning in primary school.
