There is no 'ism'. US, Inc. was merely a merger of the *.East India companies.

Are you a 'citizen', Anon? You're merely a corporate asset. Your Certificate of Birth is just a warehouse receipt.

The deception is old and deep.

Progressivism.
Conservatism and Progressivism are both manners in which to regard Liberalism, a larger umbrella concept. You understand that Liberalism being "left" and opposed to conservatism is to misunderstand (and many """report""" on this misunderstanding purposefully) the nature of these terms. In the past "Liberalism" was used as shorthand to what was actually meant: "more liberal action" "liberal progress never slowing". Now we have the term "Progressive" which reflects the actual interplay of terminologies going on. The left of old essentially claimed the mantle of ""Liberalism"" to imply their opposition wasn't. Even the right fell for this. The truth is that both are Liberal; just that in the left's case they are Progressive Liberals. Which in reality is falsely Liberal. The thing Conservatives are trying to conserve is Classical Liberalism. Which is to say the liberalism of the founding fathers. We Conservatives know that Liberalism has two forms: conserving liberal values, and progressing liberal values. We Conservatives also know that activism is a bell-curve on a graph; that on that graph there is such a thing as too much activism and that more and more of it starts to degrade society where previously it improved it. The Progressive (which is to say wrong) view of Liberalism is that activism for it must keep going more and more never stopping. Never needing to stop. The Conservative view of Liberalism states that the "sweet spot" can be reached and once activism starts to go too far and starts to harm, we must then conserve the best, provably working, amount of perfect realistic Liberalism.
You may have seen those on our side referring to the enemy as "those liberals" or "liberals are", they are wrong to do so. They need to purge this from their lexicon. Use "leftist", saying that we on the right are "against liberals" confuses all the real liberals in the world.
