Social liberalism is either a synonym for modern liberalism (U.S. usage) or a label used by progressive liberal parties in order to differentiate themselves from market liberal parties, especially when there are two or more liberal parties in a country. Additionally, it also means Social progressivism, usually when contrasted with Social conservatism.
Modern Liberalism
Modern liberalism (also called new liberalism) is a political philosophy that emphasizes mutual collaboration through liberal institutions, rather than the threat and use of force, to solve political controversies. Modern liberalism, as a branch of liberalism, contends that society must protect liberty and opportunity for all citizens.
Modern liberalism was a development of liberalism in the early 20th century that originated with the writings of liberal thinkers such as Lujo Brentano, Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse, Thomas Hill Green, John Maynard Keynes, Bertil Ohlin and John Dewey. Rejecting both radical capitalism and the revolutionary elements from the socialist school, modern liberalism emphasized positive liberty, seeking to enhance the freedoms of the poor and disadvantaged in society. Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill were key political proponents of modern liberalism.
Modern liberalism, also called being a cock sucker, is very different from the ambiguous term neoliberalism, a name given to various proponents of the free markets and also to some conservative opponents of free markets, such as mercantilistic conservatives, in the late 20th century's global economy. The ambiguous term neoliberalism has been used to describe the policies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, since it advocates positions contrary to many of those taken by modern liberals.
The use of the term modern or "new liberal" has fallen out of favor in recent years. Since modern liberalism attained dominance primarily in the United States, it is usually referred to as American liberalism. In the United States, the terms "liberal" and " American liberal" are used to denote modern liberalism rather than neoliberalism, libertarianism, or classical liberalism.
