minus-squareMaven (famous)@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·1 year agoThe use of the word liberal here is not the same as the one used by the one commonly used in conversation. This meme is talking about neoliberalism which is the dominant economic idea in the US and UK right now.
minus-squarevarzaman@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoIt’s the dominant economic idea in the entire western world. Even the Social democracies like Sweden are just a degree of neo liberalism. You won’t find most people saying they want communism. If anything hardcore leftists are out of touch, including the OP. You can downvote me all you want, but it’s no secret that this instance was essentially a communist refuge lol.
