            I don’t know if I can be clearer than it is. It’s very obvious that capitalism is not compatible with liberalism. Conservative capitalists try to use terms like “economic liberalism” with results showing the opposite

              Liberals espouse various views … but generally support private property, market economies, … economic and political freedom …

              and when we click on “economic freedom”:

              One approach to economic freedom comes from the liberal tradition emphasizing free markets, free trade, and private property under free enterprise.

              The commenter suggesting you should read your own links was right…

                Thinking is also allowed. Is capitalism producing that freedom? No, it’s stifling it. It’s just a buzzword for them

                  Oh thats what you meant lol. I thought you meant “Not actually liberal” in the sense that the label of the political ideology I put forth for them is wrong, you meant they aren’t actually for freedom which is the literal meaning of the word.

                    Ah ok

                    And I do mean the political ideology where liberalism means the things included in liberalism.

                    It’s just that the later rightwing/capitalist highjackings of the word aren’t true.
