Capitalists would like you to believe that liberalism is the left-most edge of the economic spectrum, precisely because it is the left-most point on the spectrum that doesn’t threaten their power.
True leftism threatens the power of capitalists. Liberalism is not leftism.

    And you seem to intentionally be missing the point because you’re a liberal who doesn’t like hearing what the word actually represents, so are trying to redefine it (or at best, cling to an outdated and now irrelevant definition).

    So again - perhaps you might benefit from some light reading.

      First: don’t assume

      Second: you can do a test. List the attributes of liberalism and see which are true under capitalism. Add a ✔️ or ❌. For funsies, you can also check the overlap with anticapitalism or leftism or any other ideologies

      After all, reality has a leftist-liberal-progressive bias
