I’m not defending either group, but liberalism necessitates the belief in tenets such as prioritizing the right of the individual above the needs of the community, private ownership, and the free market. Liberalism would tend to view a minimum wage increase as an adequate way to address inequity, whereas a communist would view the whole system as fundamentally inequitable. (I’m simplifying here, but you get the picture.)

The Hungary Uprising happened 3 years after he died? Also, tankies aren’t liberals (they’re pretty illiberal in fact)?
