finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 days agoThere are a bunch of folks in some of the skeevier corners of the fediverse that think Liberalism means Capitalism which they in turn view as the source of all evil.
Nevermind the fact that their political ideal has no real world equivalent aside from maybe Bhutan where the vast majority of people live like medieval peasants and their entire system of government exists to enrich a few elite off of the world’s most expensive tourism.

Yes, we typically consider liberalism (you all may know it as classical liberalism as well, it, too, counts as liberalism) equivalent to capitalism
We are leftists. This is what we stand against: Capitalism and the ownership of the means of production being owned by the ownership class.
