    Given what has to be the simplest understanding of the term, pretty difficult to see how that defines left wing liberalism
    liberalism is a word stolen by progressives to corrupt the meaning and hide their true intent,,,

    Remember his primary rally where Trump told supporters to punch out a protester. And that he'd pay the legal bills.

    How could anarchy, which basically means no Gov’t, be used as a scale in writing the Constitution when the Constitution established the very framework of Gov’t?

    By the way, neither libertarianism nor anarchy were political thoughts in the 18th Century, if anything, the social democracy of Locke guided the Founders thoughts

    Yes, I do, then walked the promise back. His fake news spiel, that tries to paint the press as the enemy of the people.

    the reason libertarian or anarchy wasnt used is because in europe those people were killed before their message could get out, and the big reason we rejected their rule,,,

    Another property of fascism is the attempt to control the flow of information.

    No, it is because neither ideology didn’t exist at the time, how could it when everyone was just emerging from the Age of Absolutism
