That’s what liberal has represented since its inception.

Definitions vary.

To me, “liberal” means someone who supports individual rights, representative democracy, and capitalism.

I might enjoy individual rights, but I’m kind of meh on representative democracy, and very much against capitalism.

Virtually all communists I know are vocal about the problems in those countries when surrounded by people that are educated about them. However, that’s rarely what you see on here, which is where critical support is important.

Hm… Critical of them in secret, eh? I’d love to see some of those secret conversations, then.
