  • It also makes sens, if you’re not knowledgeable on politics, your reasoning might rather resemble a philosophical one.

    And philosophically speaking the basis of liberalism could means both left or right wing values depending on the philosopher.

    For exemple Kant’s philosophy was based on rational individuals to wich giving positive rights would permit to govern themselves. It also means laws would be universal wich would create equality. You can see how this could be compatible with some anarchist ideas or more generally with democracy.

    In communism you would also have those positive rights. But you would also justify interventions to protect those rights, against lack of resources for instance (although that’s outside of Kant’s scope).

    In the contrary, Lock’s ideas is negative rights to protect people from the government and each other. Guaranteeing things like property. And ultimately wanting freedom. Thus giving the right wing liberalism it mainly refers to today.

    Furthermore it’s the basis of capitalism. Which, if i’m being honest, is mostly what’s implied by liberalism when it comes to the economy, although i would argue against. With how defective capitalism is you could argue protectionism should be wanted by liberals to prevent all thoses monopolies we see everywhere. In this instance we could see a part of liberalism that tend more towards a leftist idea.





  • Food gives you energy after your body process it.

    If you want quick energy take a sugary snack, but don’t expect it to last.

    If you want energy for the day take a full meal, but then you need some chilling time for your body to digest.

    Such are the trades of life my friend.

    P.S. That cat has the purrfect expression though.
