How is this true?
No, it’s not true. The liberals never had the working class’ backs.
Liberalism fetishizes capitalism, remember?
I don’t doubt Bernie Sanders though - he seems like a straight truth teller.
He’s not consciously lying - Bernie, like all liberals, actually believes you can (somehow) represent both the interests of the working class while also representing the interests of the capitalist class that is parasitizing off their labor. As any leftist will tell you, this is pure delusion.

I’m very intrigued by your definition of Liberalism. It doesn’t correlate with liberalism across the world.

Really? Find me an anti-capitalist liberal. that should be very easy if this…
…was the truth.

I’m an anti-capitalist liberal.

No, Clyde. You’re not.
You are just politically incoherent, like people who call themselves “fiscally conservative and economically progressive” (or whatever claptrap so-called “centrists” tell themselves).
Liberalism fetishizes capitalism. If you’re anti-capitalist, you have abandoned liberalism.
This is not complicated.
Next you’ll be telling me you’re an anarcho-fascist.

Of course you didn’t provide your own. That’s typical, sadly enough. We all know there are varying definitions, and if you’re going to undercut someone else’s, which may be a reasonable thing to do, why not bring yours to the table? … But only if you care to continue the conversation.
