checked and validated

What on earth is a "checked-and-validated" market economy? Is that a real term that exists or did someone just make it up for this article? 2601:640:4000:3170:0:0:0:F6D3 (talk) 22:04, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Rejection of the term liberalism

In the past half-decade it's become common to see phrases like "I'm not a liberal, I'm a leftist". Furthermore, the term "liberal" seems to encompass the vast swath of political ideologies in this country, from the better-defined neoliberalism that fuels both colloquial "neoconservatives" and the modern day leadership of the Democratic party, to folks who reject the tenets of austerity and market-solutions. This article appears to be at least thirty years out of date, if it ever was accurate.

In other words, there is no clear ideology of American liberalism at all, and entities employ the term for some other reason than actually describing the political landscape, possibly for evoking a sense of unity that doesn't exist. 74.74.195.2 (talk) 15:58, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Rename Modern liberalism to Liberalism

I propose renaming the Misplaced Pages article by removing modern from modern liberalism. The term liberalism is more commonly used than modern liberalism when referring to this ideology. For example, the Democratic Party's infobox labels it simply as liberalism.

Similarly, the Republican Party's ideology is referred to as conservatism, which aligns with the term's usual usage. The existing Liberalism in the United States page could then be renamed to Classical Liberalism in the United States, mirroring the approach taken with the Traditionalist Conservatism article, which reflects the original version of American conservatism.
