Lula is more liberal than Bolsonaro in what the word actually means but otherwise good comment

Bolsonaro's Party: "Partido Liberal" = "Liberal Party"

The actual meaning of political words is relative to the current geopolitical landscape. At the moment Liberal means "I love billionaires and I hate the poor".

Capitalists have been trying to steal the term multiple times — there is nothing liberal, liberties or freedom under the hierarchy of capitalism. Liberal is relative, and relatively speaking it's anticapitalist.

Newspeak is invented all the time. It's everyone's responsibility not to accept fake rhetoric
