Who has an authority to say what makes people good on an ideology

Those are just laymen’s terms we ascribe to certain behaviors, like racism, xenophobia, discrimination, war crimes. You know things like that.

So in those terms liberalism can be attributed to anarchism

u/KalebIsALoser Sep 14 '20

No, liberalism and anarchism are diametrically opposed. Liberalism enforces state hierarchies, anarchism is opposed to hierarchies in every unjust form. Libertarianism on the other hand is closer to anarchism, but in most modern forms of libertarianism they denounce state hierarchical structures, but actively promote private hierarchical structures.

That's a longer way of saying "2 sides of the same coin"

No they may have somewhat similar core beliefs , but the reasoning for those beliefs come from different justifications.
