That’s actually not how a political ideology works! Do you believe that socialism is about exterminating your political enemies because nearly every socialist country in history did so? Or is it more likely that the people who label themselves with a political identity often fail to live up to their own ideals? Or that they never believed in those ideals in the first place and used it as a convenient tribe to gain power? Because liberalism has no opinion on the shape of park benches, that’s just stupid

They are run by self-declared liberal democrats. These benches were put in place under their administration.

Oh so someone calls themselves a liberal and that makes everything they do an example of liberalism?

No, it's when every example is of liberals doing that same thing that makes it an example of liberalism
