Which is just more-left liberalism (to the socdems part). They still believe in capitalism.
I will concede, however, that perhaps my own bias slipped in because I consider socdems to be “the ideal liberal”. But of course that’s my own personal belief and doesn’t define the entire spectrum.
I think the issue we often find is most people (in the first world anyway, voices I hear all the time) are liberals. They believe firmly in capitalism and most of them believe in some social safety nets- the dispute is how much and what type of nets. Never a dispute of support of capitalism though. Even amongst the people like Bernie or whatever
Liberalism doesn’t believe in guardrails for capitalism. That would be socialdemocracy or specifically social liberalism.
Liberals as a whole refer to uncontrolled economics, at most having some tax funded social policies.
