Jim Farmelant : *

However, Charles is correct in noting that this

usage of the term is largely confined to the US

and most people outside North America do

not use the word in that sense.

^^^^^ CB: Did I note that ? :>)

I'm trying to think of a liberal in the U.S. who is for socialism and ending capitalism. In the U.S. , the liberals are the Democrats aren't they ? Not too many Democrats for socialism and for ending capitalism

In the U.S. ,as I said, it is only rightwing demogogy that labels liberals as socialists. Liberal big government is socialistic, and the like.

In Canada they have the Liberal Party. The NDP is the social democratic party.
