Liberalism is an ideology, political philosophy, and general philosophy that traces its roots to the beginning of industrialization in the British Empire as well as the European Enlightenment.

"Liberal" is more colloquially understood, in American politics, to entail either:

  1. a set of social views (i.e. social liberalism, progressivism, and leftism)
  2. a set of economic views (i.e. classical liberalism, neoliberalism, and market libertarianism)

However, Infrared's analysis of history reveals that these economic and social theories are both equally vestiges of the original enlightenment philosophies of the British Empire, and that its inevitable conclusion is the mass production of genocide, usury, and slavery.
