In reply to the discussion: Joe Rogan Feels Trump Betrayed Him on Immigration [View all]patphil
(8,087 posts)21. Rogan is equating liberalism with communism. Somebody should hand this guy a dictionary.
Or at least wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism
Although Liberalism does have some elements of Socialism in it, it is definitely different than both Socialism, and Communism.
Far-left liberals support private enterprise, but with a social conscious that seeks to help those in need, while putting constraints on those people and companies that adhere to a philosophy of self enrichment at the expense of society.
Also, far-left liberals would never advocate the government ownership and control of everything that is at the core of communism.
