honestly at this point I can no longer tell who's a lib. at first I thought libs were american democrats, then I saw people calling centrists libs too, and recently I've seen people calling anarchists libs too. so I don't really know, but that's why I specified that I meant American liberal.

okay so american "liberals" and "conservatives" are libs. "centrists" are libs. social democrats are libs. people who believe in things like "individual rights and freedoms" are libs. hence why anarchists are sometimes called libs - they are individualists & idealists.

so only the two ends of the spectrum, communists and fascists aren't, libs?

and if being a lib is undesirable, doesn't it mean "individual rights and freedoms" a bad thing in your view?

for the purpose of calling people libs on the internet, yes. reality is more nuanced.

doesn’t it mean “individual rights and freedoms” a bad thing

yes. individualism is a tool of the bourgeoisise. communists want "everything for the masses".
