Non-NPOV

(Under the heading "Fiscal Centrists and Social Conservatives of the Centre-Right"): "They are thus opposed to both militant communism and reactionary free-market Thatcherism"

This is a non-NPOV statement, as it implies that Communism is "militant" and that "Thatcherism" is "reactionary." I changed it to "They are thus opposed to both what they see as militant communism and also reactionary free-market Thatcherism" for now. I also changed the value judgment "occupying somewhat of a middle ground in economic policy." to the statement of fact "occupying a middle ground between those two ideologies in economic policy."

Perhaps a neutral way of saying it is just opposed to socialism and very limited regulated capitalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.240.255.227 (talk) 07:46, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tacking onto the non-NPOV thread. I have removed the use of the term bourgeoises from the introduction as it is a term used almost exclusively in Marxian sociology. There is no need to use this term when a neutral term, upper class, exists instead. Further, if you actually click through the link that was there, it takes you to a page with a huge "part of a series on Marxism" banner on the side. Very clearly not NPOV. --Cthulhuclub (talk) 00:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
