Yes, I’m certain! Liberalism advocates for free markets, free markets cause the accumulation of wealth, because the more money you have the more money you can make, and since money is power, liberalism leads to the concentration of power into fewer and fewer hands, which inevitably leads to fascism.

I had to do my own quick research because liberal vs libertarian distinction in a cultural context, at least on the American side of the internet, is pretty crooked - with the term liberal being used to described the ideas generally recognized to be socialist democrats.

So yes, you’re very much correct, apologies

  No apology necessary, I totally understajd it! Liberals have been running this propaganda campain for centuries, so it’s a real uphill battle for leftists. I really appreciate you doing the research and getting back to me. Your comment makes all of my efforts worthwhile. Thank you <3

Laissez Fair Capitalists advocate for Free Markets, Liberals do not.

  Let me explain it in simple terms.
  
  Imagine there is a nice park which is used by the community. The park is owned by a kind, old man, who allows everyone to use it freely.
  
  When the man passes away, the park is inherites by his son. His son exercises his freedom to build an oil rig on the park, and putting fences around it.
  
  His freedom to do what he wants with private property deprives others of their freedom to use the park.
  
  This is how liberalism works in practice. Freedom to own land means the freedom to deprive others from the use of the land.

    You know what else exists in the west? Starvation, homelessness and medical debt. The freedom to profit from food, shelter and healthcare means that you are forced into laboring, usually for the benefit and profit of wealthy private individuals, who pay you for less than your work is actually worth.
