In which case I would still stress the importance of understanding what the fuck "liberal" actually means
When one person uses a word with an unusual meaning, they're just wrong. When a whole country does it it's a difference of dialect. Are you gonna try to argue that American English is wrong?
Yes, just because nazis called themselves "national socialists" didn't actually make them socialists in any shape or form.
That's a bad analogy.
Ditto for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK; aka North Korea). People often intentionally misuse words to obfuscate their true intentions, particularly those with an authoritarian or fascist slant.
Liberals are what socialists become when they grow up.
Lol sure mate
