What if we want democracy but nothing to do with Liberalism? Let’s work towards a more progressive, humanity focused social agenda. Let’s make people happy again.
You can have that. But I also want conservatives in the Fediverse to simulate societal debate better here. Defederation still exists, of course.
It’s not about agreeing on everything but about finding common grounds again between opposing parties that at least share some common values.
Can you define how Liberalism is different from Progressivism? I’ve always self-identified as progressive because I don’t feel liberal democrats go far enough, but I don’t actually know what makes Liberalism distinct from something more progressive.
liberalism aligns with capitalism. most progressives are anticapitalist.
sure, liberals are normally progressives too, the counterpart of the moderates and the conservatives which are all capitalists, but they are usually perceived as not real progressives by the socialists, etc.
