is it to do with their view on government influence of the economy? do they both share similar distrust for the state?
cheers.
Is the difference just military? Conservatives seem very individualistic and materialistic and don’t seem to have much respect for customs, tradition or institutions. They also seem to talk about about ‘freedom’.
Classical liberalism consisted of:
-end of censorship
-freedom of religion
-freedom from arbitrary laws and from judges who just do what the government tells of them.
Classical liberals believed in human rights for everyone and that the public should decide to limit any person’s freedom, they also accepted well established distinctions between the classes. Lastly, they never believed everyone should be equal economically, great differences in wealth and income was perfectably acceptable.
Modern liberals:
-Want to push gay marriage and abortion on people even when the people vote against it calling it unfair.
-spread the wealth from the rich to the poor
-for big government
The classical liberalism of America’s founding fathers should not be confused with modern liberalism.
Young “liberals” really need to understand the difference.
If some political party says it’s ideology is:Progressive Liberalism or Classical Liberalism.In what issues will these ideologies differ compared to Liberalism?
PS:I appologise for my English, it’s not my native language.
Its for a class powerpoint need some help! Should represent various perspectives and demonstarte the positive and negative reactions of classical liberalism.
