Leftist, is a broad-term that is used to describe parties and voters that advocate socialist-influenced policies. Political stances can vary in the left-wing but the unifying trait is that they all advocate some form of welfare or mixed-economy policy.Liberal, has a double meaning. It is a word ascribed to policies that advocate personal or economic freedom, usually from the government. It is also a centrist political stance that runs closely along the lines of Classical Liberalism, advocating for personal freedoms and economic freedoms, to a degree.There are notable variations though. Some liberals are Social Liberals which lean more on the left of the spectrum (but still centre) and then there’s liberal Conservatism which is a more economically conservative and slightly more socially conservative but overall, values personal freedoms.Overall, liberal is generally ascribed to anyone in the centre of politics who advocates for personal freedoms, controlled economic freedom and democracy.
What is Connotation???
Connotation is the tone or emotional association that a word has. It can be negative or positive, but is usually something seen by the population in general. For example, "slim" and "scrawny" both mean that a person is thin. "Slim," though, has a positive connotation -- it makes you think of an attractive person, while "scrawny" has a negative connotation -- it makes you think of a malnourished or impoverished person. There are also words that have neutral connotations. "Child" has a relatively neutral connotation, while "little one" has a positive connotation and "brat" is negative. When trying to recognize the connotation of a word, go with your gut. You can usually tell just by reading it if the word is associated with positive or negative emotions, or with no emotions. Cat -- neutral Laugh -- positive Glare -- negative Book -- neutral Shirt -- neutral Smile -- positive Nourishment -- positive Stalker -- negative Fan -- positive Dream -- positive Nightmare -- negative Torrent -- negative There are many more where that came from. :)
