      Liberals

      All authoritarians left AND right. Please learn your political compass so you can have grown up conversations.

      That really makes me wonder what you mean by liberal

      My take on the word highlights individual freedom except where it interferes with other individual’s freedoms

      My take has most regulation put on corporations, ie. you and I are pretty free; Google has rules to follow (and so does the butcher, baker, and candlestick maker)

      To make it clear the common liberal position is individuals should be free to do as they want unless it is harmful to others; companies should be regulated enough to protect people, the environment, competition

        Add to it the rule that every free person could have up to 3 slaves and I’m in

        Oh no? Isn’t it the same as having 12 full time workers?

          Slaves? We have electricity and automation. Although slaves might make things easier, slaves are people and should have the same freedoms as you and me

          Also employees would have might higher production than the same number of slaves
