    Liberal = anti-authoritarian

    Voting is a means to change government policy without killing each other. Any arguement againest liberalism is an arguement for the use of warfare to change politics and all of the bloodshed that will be included. The vast majority of humans benefit from free and fair elections. Communism is authoritarian so not liberal. Any political party that wants to use democracy and voting to avoid bloodshed and have political change are liberal.

    OP has a history of anti democratic rhetoric and repeatedly encourages violent changes in government. As long as the elections are free and fair we have no reason to use a violent revolution and cause the unnecessary massacre of innocents.

      Liberals are not anti authoritarian lmao as an ideology liberalism upholds the capitalist state via state violence like the police and military, enforces borders violently, and lets people die violently instead of providing basic human necessities like housing and food and water. Liberalism ≠ democracy, liberalism = democracy for the bourgeoisie.

      Elections cant be “free and fair” when the media and government are controlled by an economic class that needs to enforce homelessness and starvation as a threat to make their fake economy function.

            Name a single powerful country regardless of politics that doesn’t support everything in your post. Then try to split every powerful government by liberalism and authoritarianism to see who is worse.
