enlightened

I don’t know, Zombie. Found all of those in a thesaurus as synonymous with “liberal”.

The syn. for “conservative” you don’t even want to hear ( mean, small-minded, etc.)

Even the thesaurus is Gramscian!

“Enlightened” sounds too religious.
“Rational” I already have on the list.
“Tolerant” — too limiting in its definition.
“Unorthodox” — trying to avoid “Un-” or “Non-” words.

You may need to coin a new word or a two-word phrase might be more descriptive.

I’ve been trying! That’s why I asked here.
