Why are you booing them, they’re right.
Liberalism is literally the ideology of capitalism.
Not really.
It can refer to social progressives. And that’s how a lot of people think of it.
Neoliberalism is definitely pro capitalism.
Maybe y’all mixing up libertarians with liberals.
Here is Google output:
Core Beliefs: Emphasizes individual freedom, rights, and self-determination, with a belief in government’s role to protect these rights and promote equality.
Classical Liberalism: Focused on limited government, private property, and consent of the governed (think John Locke).
Modern Liberalism: Seeks broader social justice, economic equality, and government action to solve societal problems (e.g., welfare, civil rights).
Key Values: Fairness, harm reduction, liberty, democracy, human rights, and rule of law.
Liberalism doesn’t believe the government should dictate a lot of small things but still believes the government should ensure everyone has equal rights. And should protect the people from some harms like exploitation, dangerous products, pollution, etc.
Just feck off with your AI spam.
Im absolutely not confusing “libertarians” with liberals. The points you list say nothing of anti-capitalism because they have never been anti-capitalist. Ever.
Liberalism in its many forms is the dominant ideology of the Western bourgeoisie and has been used time and time again to defend capitalism from radical change for two centuries now. This isn’t a new point.
I suggest reading some Marx over Google.
Historical use is not the same as modern use.
Liberalism does not support capitalism.
It does not have any distinctive pro- or anti- economic style.
It primarily concerns itself with society and rights.
Please read the modern definition.
It’s possible people claiming to be liberals are also in support of capitalism. They can also be in support of socialism. The definition of the term does not dictate this distinction.
You have to be careful with such terms. They are often applied to groups in errors. Intentionally to sway public perception.
Like Russia calling itself communist. It’s not.
Like Hitler’s Germany calling itself socialist. It wasn’t.Like “citizens United” actually being a bill to allow companies to fuck over civilians by legally bribing politicians.
Surely you have noticed words are used to obfuscate actual agendas all the time. ?
Your example only further shows this.
Liberalism does not support capitalism
Ok show me where the DNC is pushing to abolish property and wage labor, ill wait.
No I didn’t bother reading the rest, have a nice day
Dnc is democratic party , an organization. It’s not an ideology.
👍
Keep playing dumb, its a good look on you
Says the person who won’t look up the literal definition of modern liberalism. Which I gave you.
I’ll never know why so many people want to make a very simple distinction so obfuscated.
I don’t think people know what “literally” means anymore.

No kidding. I have that instance blocked for a reason. Please stop posting that rage-bait garbage here. If any of us wanted to see .ml content, we would go there.
