    Liberals? What liberals. By definition liberalism wants to take away power from current governments.

      By definition liberalism wants to take away power from current governments.

      Not sure if you are from outside of the US? Have heard the term “liberal” here vs elsewhere means different things

      In the US, “liberals” (with the exception of anarchists) generally want MORE government. Things like more welfare and aid programs, more government regulations, some want government owned business, etc.

      We usually call people who don’t want as much government as “Libertarians”.
