What is classical liberalism?
“I got fired and now I have to shill for the conservatives so I don’t have to be a slave like the rest of the peasants 😢” ~ Fine one “classical liberal” who doesn’t have this exact backstory.... Go ahead.... I’ll wait... I actually DARE you to find a single one that doesn’t have this backstory. Classical liberals are the “Vindicators” of modern society.
Hym “Hey, Classical liberal... what do you believe?”
Classical liberal “Well, I believe whatever I need to believe to wield my grotesquely limited skill set against the populous...”
Hym “But what do you REALLY believe?”
Classical liberal “wHaT dO yOu mEaN bY bElIeVe!?!?!?”
Hym “Tsssk 🤦 ♂️.... Jesus Christ... Yeah... I see why you were fired... Ok. Hold on... Ok, I just started a business. You’re officially my first employee.”
Classical liberal “No thanks I...”
Hym “You’re fired.... Aw God, yeah...That’s better. Sorry but it’s almost impossible to NOT fire someone as tedious as you, I mean, holy shit! 😩 That feels so much better!”
Classical liberal “Iam! Please you have to hire me I’ll say whatever you want! 😭”
Iam “Wha... I... I don’t own a business. What are you... You didn’t even want the job! Stop... You're getting snot on me...”
Classical Liberal “PLEASE!!” 😭
Iam “I... I don’t know what to do here... You got fired by Hym so now you’re groveling at my feet for a job because... I’m the opposite? You don’t have to... I think he’s doing a bit... Are... Are you a part of the bit? I don’t understand what’s happening here...”
Hym “He can’t help it Iam... It’s in his nature. You have to hire him. If you don’t he’ll have to be like everyone else and work for his money! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!”

Classical liberalism - what is it?
A conservative trying to peddle his same old bullshit under a hipper, less-tarnished branding.
See also: the "Comcast to Xfinity" strategy.
"I'm a classical liberal. That's why I worship Trump, hate niggers, jews, and gays, and think the invisible hand of the free market is a benevolent divine force that'll solve all my problems."
What does "classical liberalism" mean?
A modern conservative using an outdated term from the 19th century to identify themselves. Essentially, a classic liberal believes in an unregulated free market, like a conservative, but doesn't care about social freedoms and benefits, because those beliefs don't benefit corporations (so shut up minorities and people of atypical sexes and gender identifications; and fuck you, welfare programs). So yeah, they're just your average conservative. The point of using this name for themselves is to make their politics more appealing to the masses, as they assume most people won't know or have the inclination to look up what a classic liberal is.
Guy 1: "I'm not a conservative anymore. I'm a classic liberal now!"
Guy 2: "So you're a conservative with a Trojan horse name?"
Guy 1: "NO! FUCK YOU! THAT'S FAKE NEWS!!!! STOP STIFLING MY FREE SPEECH!!!! REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"
(Guy 1 then proceeds to fling his own feces at everyone around him to distract from being exposed)
Classical liberalism - what does it mean?
A conservative, usually encountered on the internet, who won't cop to being a conservative, and wants to be thought of as progressive when they haven't a single progressive stance.

Classical liberalism - meaning
Those who want true freedom and don't want to harm anyone nor want government dictating their lives.
Phoney "modern" liberals stole this name in order to sound like they have a just cause, which of course is not true.
Classic Liberals are trying to make things a better place. Some people now call them Conservatives, but they aren't always the stuff starched shirt types.
Modern "liberals" are evil people who belong to groups like NAMBLA.
Classical liberalism - definition
The term classical liberalism has often been applied in retrospect to distinguish earlier 19th-century liberalism from social liberalism.
Social-liberals have nothing in common with 19th century liberalism. They took this word,that's why we have to call ourselves classic liberal .
Classical liberalism - slang
People who steal other words to become more recorgnized. They then accuse modern liberalism of stealing their word.
1. Hi, I'm a classic liberal, but I'll call myself a libertarian even though I know the origins of the word come from anti-capitalists
2. Hello, it's me again, the classic liberal. This time I'm gonna call myself an "anarcho-capitalism", because anarchism is cool and I love capitalism. I'm also oblivious to the fact that anarchism generally rejects capitalism and that "anarcho-capitalism" is actually an oxymoron.
Classical liberalism
A fancy term for a libertarian.
Tom: I for one believe in maximum civil liberty and economic freedom. I quite fancy that idea. Indeed, yes.
Julie: So.. you're a libertarian?
Tom: Quite. Although I prefer to be labeled a 'classical liberal.'
Julie: Fancy.
Classical liberalism
a political philosophy perpetuating free-market economics, minimalist government, strong private property rights, non-interventionism, government disinvolvement in social issues, separation of church and state, and open borders. the word "liberal" was originally associated with these beliefs, but liberals eventually started promoting large government, closed markets, redistribution of wealth, and high government involvement in social issues. today, liberal is associated with the latter qualities. the newer liberals are sometimes identified as neo-liberals. in modern day, a classical liberal tends to self-identify as a libertarian, and the term classical liberal is used much less than it was 100-200 years ago. some libertarian causes, like the Mises institute, still commonly use the term.
harry, who perpetuates classical liberalism, votes either republican or libertarian.
