@CJCousineau @DianeMariePosts Actually liberalism is a worldview, not a political governance system. Until the influence of the Age of Enlightenment, commoners didn’t have a choice in governance. Politics was reserved for the upper echelons. The Upper class.
Liberalism is a way of thinking, a belief system.

@CJCousineau @DianeMariePosts Seldom in human history have individuals had complete autonomy. Liberalism began as a belief system that provided for individual autonomy. A concept quite foreign prior to the Age of Enlightenment. It’s basically rationale for being selfish and asserting ones own needs & desires.
@CJCousineau @DianeMariePosts The term you’re referring to is democracy. Where people regularly choose a leader who makes decisions on behalf of the whole society is referred to as democracy, not liberalism. In comparison to autocracy (no choice) or monarchy (no choice).
Those are the available options.
