Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill

551: Liberals vs. Leftists: Is there a difference?


Listen Later

P&C drink and review a dopplebock from Troegs then ask whether there's a difference between a liberal and a leftist.

Pigweed reflects on his youth and his admiration for the free spirit attitude of the hippies, and that while he hasn't moved, the Overton Window has moved around him, shifting him from left to right.

The normal politics of a 1995 Democrat turn the left's hair on fire. Even recent quotes from Clinton, Obama, Schumer, and other Democrats are completely out of step with the modern left.

On crime, the border, gay marriage, trans issues, and a host of other issues, an orthodox Democrat from 1995 would be unwelcome in the modern Democratic Party.

"Liberal" used to mean ...

* Personal autonomy

* Individual rights

* Economic freedom

* Constitutional limited government

* Free speech

The modern left has flipped all these things on their head.
