Jesus, I can’t keep having this argument with you. I will accept “Leftists who want to abolish private property [are fringe]” as an acceptance of the assertion that American Liberals share all or most of the central ideological tenants of Classical Liberalism.
liberals also support fascism/colonialism/laissez-faire capitalism/insert Republican ideology here therefore Democrats support fascism/colonialism/laissez-faire capitalism/insert Republican ideology here
LMAO, nobody is saying american liberals support any of those things on the basis of their liberal ideology. I’m not even sure you understand what a motte-and-bailey is, those two arguments don’t follow.
