Are you a Liberal or a Realist?

No. Liberalism and Realism are both Political theories in this case, as outlined in my first post. Did you read my post?

You're still presenting them as two diametrically opposed and totally mutually exclusive stances.

No, I really stopped reading it at a certain point because it just sounds like an axe grinding on a big heavy stone to me.

...I presented two theories of Political Science that are called Realism and Liberalism. I did not come up with those names. That is what those who have far more experience in the field than me chose to name them. Liberalism may mean something else in other places (aka American Politics), but it does not mean what you are used to it meaning in this instance. My stance on the matter is as objective as it can be with the information that has been presented to me in the classes that I have been taking.

I presented a question that was presented to me in my class to the forum, because I found it an interesting question. You are misinterpreting, and putting words in my mouth.
