checked and validated[edit]

What on earth is a "checked-and-validated" market economy? Is that a real term that exists or did someone just make it up for this article? 2601:640:4000:3170:0:0:0:F6D3 (talk) 22:04, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rejection of the term liberalism[edit]

In the past half-decade it's become common to see phrases like "I'm not a liberal, I'm a leftist". Furthermore, the term "liberal" seems to encompass the vast swath of political ideologies in this country, from the better-defined neoliberalism that fuels both colloquial "neoconservatives" and the modern day leadership of the Democratic party, to folks who reject the tenets of austerity and market-solutions. This article appears to be at least thirty years out of date, if it ever was accurate.

In other words, there is no clear ideology of American liberalism at all, and entities employ the term for some other reason than actually describing the political landscape, possibly for evoking a sense of unity that doesn't exist. 74.74.195.2 (talk) 15:58, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
