Do any of them know what the word “liberal” actually means?

      There are/were a lot of systems where you need to be granted a privilege in order to do something.

      Meaning there’s a law against doing it without said privilege.

      “If there isn’t a law against it, you’re allowed to do it”

      Even in liberalism, what you said is still the case. I need to be granted the privilege of a driver’s license to drive a car, I need the privilege of a medical license to practice medicine, etc. You’re talking nonsense.

      And just as many where the laws aren’t defined so anything can be laid out as illegal

      Such as?

          No, that’s not what I mean. What I mean is systems where everything is illegal by default and laws give you privileges to do something.

          That’s not any system that has ever existed.
