In what manner are communists "liberals?" Why are communists capitalists in your eyes?
See you don’t know what the term liberal means.
It has nothing to do with capitalism.
Communism doesn’t have a government, that makes them liberals.
Liberalism is an ideology supporting private property and individualism. Communism doesn't have a state, but it does have administration, which some consider government, and communism lacks private property.
Private property in the sense the government can't seize your home or car or rollerskates without due process. It is not the main caveat of liberalism, which is pro liberty, aka pro human rights. It is an ideology independent of economic system
No, this is entirely wrong and is completely unsupported by historical context.
