By definition liberalism wants to take away power from current governments.
Not sure if you are from outside of the US? Have heard the term “liberal” here vs elsewhere means different things
In the US, “liberals” (with the exception of anarchists) generally want MORE government. Things like more welfare and aid programs, more government regulations, some want government owned business, etc.
We usually call people who don’t want as much government as “Libertarians”.
Yeah, in the states, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “Democrat”, and “progressive” all mean pretty much the same thing.
And their opposite number are “right-wing”, “Republican”, or “conservative”.
Our system kinda sucks TBH and I feel like most people are sick of both parties but just vote for whoever they feel is the lesser evil since the system is rigged. Literally… they make it a pain for 3rd party to even get a spot at the televised presidential debates, so it’s been between the same 2 parties for several generations.
