[French writer Anatole France is drawn wearing a flowery tie]
The law,
in its majestic equality,
forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread
-Anatole France

    Really? Then why did the left allow literal liberals to hijack and own liberal hatred?

    Fundamentalist liberals (ie, the people who call themselves “conservatives” these days) and their working-class allies (ie, fascists) spewing hatred for liberalism is literally a trope - not so with leftists, who never misses the opportunity to alienate the working class by using the term “bourgeoisie” when the term liberal would suffice perfectly.
