    “The dictionary definition has not changed, this is like calling China communist or the USSR socialist republic, or calling the US Republican Party… well, Republicans.”

    Yeah, I mean you’re here stomping your feet over semantics by leaning on a dictionary definition rather than acknowledging that all your criticisms of other political systems absolutely applies to your defense of Liberalism. In so far as we’re existing only in theory, the things you said about Liberalism are true (according to the source that you didn’t cite), but in the actual world and as applied through history, Liberalism simply isn’t what that definition claims anymore, or Liberals aren’t Liberals despite their claims. Both can be true.

    P.S. you’re bad at this defense thing.
