Liberalism is not socialism
...socialism is the Government owning everything. No liberal would ever advocate such a disastrous idea!

Liberalism is not communism
...communism is everybody owning everything equally, without any government at all. Nobody advocates such a wild experiment!

Liberalism is not collectivism
...collectivism is simply a group of people acting towards a common goal. Interest groups are a form of collectivism, so are the Boy Scouts, the Army, and a football team!

Liberalism is not statism
...statism can be defined as strong central government . Every political group (other than Libertarians) advocates some form of statism.

Liberalism is not big government
...Big government is nothing more than a convenient straw man that conservatives use against liberals. Somehow social programs are defined as big government, while corporate welfare and religious indoctrination are not!
