That video is very boring. I have no idea what he means by liberalism. The term has become so malleable it it meaningless now.
I like to separate political systems into Libertarian and Totalitarian now. It makes much more sense. Most Commie countries were run like monarchies and completely totalitarian. Most Fascist countries were run like monarchies and completely totalitarian. Left or right was meaningless in these countries for the average citizen other than the endless stream of propaganda of how the other system was evil and causing all domestic ills.
"Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, "of freedom")[1] is the belief in the importance of liberty and equal rights.[2] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but most liberals support such fundamental ideas as constitutions, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, capitalism, free trade, and the separation of church and state. These ideas are widely accepted, even by political groups that do not openly profess a liberal ideological orientation. Liberalism encompasses several intellectual trends and traditions, but the dominant variants are classical liberalism, which became popular in the eighteenth century, and social liberalism, which became popular in the twentieth century."
Wikipedia, I know.
