I don’t know if I can be clearer than it is. It’s very obvious that capitalism is not compatible with liberalism. Conservative capitalists try to use terms like “economic liberalism” with results showing the opposite
I think you’re confusing the US definition of liberal with the definition of liberal in near the rest of the world. Even in Canada the Liberals are centre at best
Nah I’m not. I know that US/UK/AUS/anglosphere capitalists try to say they’re liberal but there’s nothing liberal under a capitalist hierarchy. Apparently they’re trying to be sneaky in Canada as well
Ahh gotcha, I wasn’t sure. And yeah the Liberals here are like progressive classic conservatives. They’re not insane like current conservatives but they like to maintain the current status quo and will occasionally give us something like dental care but limit it to a very small subset of people. And that’s only if forced to by the supporting left leaning party (NDP).
Yeah exactly. Conservatives & authoritarians really like to market with phrases like “economic liberalism” or “free markets”. Always building a power structure which limits freedoms
Liberal economics be like let’s get rid of capitalism
That’s left or socialist. Left doesn’t equal liberal.
Left doesn’t equal liberal and liberal equals not capitalism. Both are true
No, those are socialist economics.

and when we click on “economic freedom”:
The commenter suggesting you should read your own links was right…
Thinking is also allowed. Is capitalism producing that freedom? No, it’s stifling it. It’s just a buzzword for them
