Capitalists would like you to believe that liberalism is the left-most edge of the economic spectrum, precisely because it is the left-most point on the spectrum that doesn’t threaten their power.
True leftism threatens the power of capitalists. Liberalism is not leftism.
And what does it mean? Because that’s a bold fucking thing to say when you haven’t put forth a definition, or anything thing tying it’s use to anti-capitalism.
Wanting the rich to pay a little more in tax, claiming you want to see more women in boardrooms and black-owned businesses, or announcing that you think that queer folks should have basic human rights isn’t anti-capitalism, but even through the myopic American lens of the world it’s the basic extreme of what a liberal is.
