There are seveal types of liberals. As a leftist you are a liberal in that you wish to see change implimented and look to alter the system, and suffer little bigotry etc.

Yet a liberal is also someone who supports the freedoms of corporations and laissez-faire.

Definitions of liberal

"Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. "

"Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded."


"An economic theory in favor of laissez-faire, the free market, and the gold standard. "

All from www.dictionary.com

[Jesus Christ]

a very good source would be th book Liberal Socialism by Carlo Rosselli

besides that, Enigma summed it up almost perfectly, good job
the liberal left favor more non strict leftist ideas but are almost always open to new ideas
