Are there socialist democracies and capitalist ones? Are there conservative democracies and liberal ones?? You're totally full of shit and busted. Liberalism has absolutely NOTHING to do with democracy, and instead of solving this mistake of yours, we're going to play little word games, while you use that as your chance to escape. Seen it before.
TBH I haven't read the whole thread but I do wanna point out that billy is right when he says all democracies are politically liberal.
Here look at this wiki article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_democracyThis is the introduction:
Liberal democracy (bourgeois democracy or constitutional democracy) is a common form of representative democracy. A liberal democracy may take various constitutional forms: it may be a Republican democracy, as the United States, India or France, or a constitutional monarchy, such as the United Kingdom, Japan, or Spain. It may have a presidential system (United States), a parliamentary system (Westminster system, UK and Commonwealth countries), or a hybrid, semi-presidential system (France).
The term "liberal" in "liberal democracy" refers to adherence to the ideology of political liberalism. Liberal democracies feature constitutional protections of individual rights from government power, which were first proposed during the Age of Enlightenment by social contract theorists such as Hobbes and Locke. At present, there are numerous countries ruled by non-liberal political parties - parties that uphold conservatism, Christian democracy, social democracy, or some forms of socialism - that are considered to have liberal democracy as their form of government.
Please would you carefully read the underlined part. It basically says that even if a democratic country is governed by a conservative, Christian, or Socialist party,
it is still a liberal democracy by definition.
You're confusing social liberalism with
political liberalism.
