The ‘essence’ of liberalism is capitalism.

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was already debunked.

Capitalism is a separate concept, trying to abuse liberalism. Free markets, economic "liberalism" are just marketing, leading to inverse effects, limiting/stifling/lessening freedom/liberty/liberalism.

There is no liberty or equality as they are known in liberalism under the hierarchy of capital. Poor people aren't at liberty or free. Not even high income workers. Only those who own the lower classes have the power to be free.

Hasn’t been debunked by you or anybody, because it is true. Liberalism is what liberals say it is, and liberals say capitalism is liberalism. Really doesn’t matter what you think.

Capitalists say that. And their word doesn't matter. Liberals are anticapitalists.

And yes. I'm not a part of this
