Practical Policy vs. “Revolution”
“Liberals,” like conservatives, are ultimately practical in their approach to policy. They both want to achieve the best results for the public, albeit using contending methods. There are degrees of practical application.
“Leftists” are far different from either liberals or conservatives. They are willing to sacrifice practical benefit for what they see as a higher mission, creating a new order.
Liberals and conservatives present contending approaches to practical goals. Leftists are ideologues seeking to upend society for what they see as a higher ideal — they are genuine extremists. While liberals and leftists may be seen as kindred spirits, liberals actually have more in common with conservatives which is why one now sees so many liberals today responding in horror to the destruction that leftism is bringing to society.
