    except that’s not what happened. “Liberals are capitalism.” is not only an absurd statement, it’s a belief, not a definition of liberalism, nor was anything that followed-- and I called it out as such. And, instead of reacting like an adult to criticism, you attack me for having the temerity to dare ask.

    oh, the hypocrisy, lol

    edit: and since my whole point here was that this sort of childish in-fighting is aa waste of time, I’m just going to block you and move on with my day.

    bye!

      Okay, let’s look at wiki shall we?

      I’m new to this thread so let’s add some sources.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

      Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.[1][2] Different liberals espouse various and sometimes conflicting views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support liberal democracy, private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.[3] Liberalism is frequently cited as a major ideology of modern history.[4][5]: 11

      Go look at those sources. Those aren’t socialist values are they?

      That specific enough? Private/corporation private ownership isnt really a leftists thing. Its a liberal thing. Its a capatlism thing.

      Its not infighting. We aren’t in with each other. Capitalists and anticapitalist aren’t on the same side. Hope that helps.
