Since we never agree in the meaning of certain words frequently used in this forum, I suggest we provide some definitions for those words.
What you need to do is the following:
-Post the definition or meaning of terms like: liberal, conservative, neoconservative, neoliberal, etc. You can post all the words related to politics, economy, and religion usually found in the D&ST. The definition can be taken from anywhere you want. You must quote your source.
-Everybody can provide his own definition of the term. Those definitions making fun of a term don't count. Please, be serious and provide the best definition available. F.i. liberal = root of all problems, very wrong.
-When we'll have several definitions of a word, f.i. 10 definitions of liberal, we'll make a poll and you can vote for the best definition. Then the winning definition will be added to this thread in order to build a Glossary of Political, Economic and Religious terms.
Some of the words could be:
-liberal/liberalism
-conservative/conservativism
-neoconservative/neoconservativism
-neoliberal/neoliberalism
-religious extremist
-terrorist
-fundamentalist
-Muslim
-Atheist
-Agnostic
-Socialist
-Communist
-leftist
-Nationalism
-Patriotism
-Fascist
-Nazi/Nazism
-Zionist/Zionism
-Anti-Americanism
More words will be added.
All your suggestions are welcome.
