conservative, nonsense","article":"the entire political spectrum is not dominated by the liberal\/conservative bias. people who use the term 'liberal' as an insult forget that "liberalism" as an economic doctrine hinges on capitalist expansion and so-called "free-market" trade policy, etc. etc... to a major degree all of our presidents since WW2 have been 'liberals' in this sense. furthermore, the spectrum extends to the right of conservatism and the left of liberalism... indymedia, for instance, is not a liberal organization. the majority of its contributors and organizers are progressive\/radical political types. \r\n\r\npeople who use 'conservative' as an insult also forget that, until the years following ww2, conservatism did not necessarily mean hostility to environmental concerns, working in the interest of big business, etc. some of the most profoundly anti-capitalist writers and thinkers of the early 20th century were conservatives: JRR Tolkein, TS Eliot, etc. these men observed and condemned the destruction of the environment and the alienation of capitalism\/industrialism from a totally different perspective than we currently tend to. \r\n\r\npeople who debate politics in the narrow conservative\/liberal terms that are currently popular among our elected officials have a very skewed take on the meanings of these terms in a historical sense. the majority of mainstream american politicians - even the naderites and the reform party types - fall within a very narrow spectrum of political thought, a fair mix of 'liberalism' in the economic sense and either liberal internationalism or neorealism when it comes to foreign policy. \r\n\r\nif you use the term 'liberal' to insult a collective that is clearly NOT liberal, you are only going to draw attention to your ignorance as to the meaning the term.\r\n\r\n","author":"nothumb","parent_id":67973,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-08-28
