    Liberalism is the doctrine of Capitalism. It evokes individualism and Private Property Rights, may every man aspire to become a King.

    Leftism opposes unjust hierarchy and supports collective ownership of the Means of Production.

      You’re talking about neo-liberalism.

      They’re as similar to liberals as national socialists are to socialists.

        I am talking about Liberalism and Liberals. Neo-Liberalism has quite a lot in common with Liberalism.

        If you’re talking about Social Democrats or progressives, you shouldn’t really refer to them as liberals.
