These clergy very much disagree with them, but they were defended from unprovoked attacks by the racist shitstains. Broad brushes don't work.
Classical liberalism is something that contemporary liberalism, conservatism, and libertarianism all fit into. Trying to compare classical liberalism with the contemporary liberalism we see in modern day society is not a valid comparison. Especially when you refer to them as "basically socialists," which is extremely false and comes from a position of ignorance regarding what socialism actually is.
1. So because an antifa member defended a clergy member they are suddenly alright? Pretty sure we could find a white supremecist who defended someone from antifa as well.... does this make the white supremecists alright?
It's all nonsense and the attempt to normalize antifa by leftists media outlets is pretty crazy.
Antifa is in the same boat with white supremecists, Nazi's, and BLM.
2. Classic liberalism is wonderful. We used to have a debate in this country between the classic liberal and the conservative. What we ended up with pretty small government that protected people's rights to live their own lives.
The progressives were blown out after Woodrow wilson and they worked from there to co-op the democrat party under the liberal banner. Needless to say we have changed to more of a socialism system since then.... which is the problem. We have centralized power to the executive branch for too many things, which started under progressives.... with wilson.
