    Seems to be directed against me. Just want to make clear I dislike the (current) capitalist system and would not describe myself as a liberal. But I also see the benefits of a free market and the reasons why communism failed. ~> I ain’t extremist and see the need of a sustainable free market capitalism

      Yes, given the rest of your comment, this is directed precisely at you.

      There’s no such thing as sustainable Capitalism, and Communism remains the answer.

      Fun fact: I pretty much upvoted all of your memes as I see them to be accurate. Some however display problems which would also occur in a communist society.

        Over time, the meaning of liberalism began to diverge in different parts of the world. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica: “In the United States, liberalism is associated with the welfare-state policies of the New Deal programme of the Democratic administration of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt, whereas in Europe it is more commonly associated with a commitment to limited government and laissez-faire economic policies.”

      No, a liberal, ie someone who espouses liberalism, the free market capitalist ideology. Libertarians are anti-state liberals.
