When did Communism and socialism insert itself politically on the left. How and when did being liberal or Ultra liberal or leftist or Ultra leftist, become being a Communist or socialist Thomas Jefferson the third President of the United States, and James Madison the fourth President of the United States, were the founders of the Democratic Party; they were both considered liberals, which at the time of the founding of this country, was a political belief in individual liberty and equality under the law, for everyone individually, and equal rights given to everyone individually. Being liberal also meant being for unobtrusive and small government, a government that does not interfere in the lives of the citizens, and choose for them like they were children. At the beginning of the 20th century Woodrow Wilson a Democrat, was made president of Princeton University in 1902, and was nominated for President of the United States at the 1912 Democratic national convention, and campaigned on a program called the New Freedom, which stressed Individualism and States Rights, he was elected President of the United States, and therefore the head of the Democratic Party. Woodrow Wilson wrote, "Liberty has never come from Government. It has always come from the Subjects of Government. The History of Liberty has always been the History of Resistance." When did Marxist collectivist equality insert itself on the left politically? When did economic equality become more important than equal rights, equal laws, and equal freedom? When did minority group rights become more important than individual and equal rights? When in the history of Government and humanity has making people unequal by giving them special rights, or giving them special protections under the law, as minority groups, made those people equal with the people who did not have those protections and rights? When has special rights, and special laws, not created resentment in the people left out of those special rights, special protections and special laws? Being a liberal use to stand for being for liberty; and the only way that liberty can be given is equally and individually to everyone, and respect other People's individual rights and freedoms, or no one can be truly free. Lord Acton wrote, "Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end." There is no such thing as collectivist liberty. True liberty can only be given to everyone individually, to live his or her life as he or she chooses. With the right of self determination over our own minds, bodies, and souls and not to live under the coercive nature of the collective or Government.
Yours truly and sincerely
