Well if we look at Germany pre-Hilter, it was one of the most liberal countries in the world.

I would use the term "progressive" rather than "liberal" because they reduced the rights of individuals through "hate-speech" and gun control laws to protect the "public good"; and it was the resentment produced by, or unintended use of, these laws which made it possible for a fascist nation to be formed from a "progressive" nation.

well to be fair, that was around the time that progressives hijacked liberal/democrats parties.

pre-100 years ago, liberals were a whole different beast
