Not in the U.S they aren't. They are progressives. Not necessarily anti capitalist but they are fully social progressives.
Please explain how a social progressive is the same as a neo Nazi.
Definition
Noun
a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare. "she dissented from the decision, joined by the court's liberals"
a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise
Now libertarian is a different story.
But you can all Google the definition of both because there seems to be a lot of people who are promoting that liberals are right wingers. And that's literally the opposite of what they are.
Yes I understand the middle has shifted. But that's normal and has always happened throughout history.
Liberals are not conservative. They are against misogyny, bigotry,racism.
Which is what the right stands for.
Their opinion on capitalism does not make them Nazis.
Liberals are Democrat voters. Not Republicans.
I mean the word "libtard" is the rights slur against liberals.
Obviously they don't like liberals. Because they don't share ideologies.
For fucks sake. Must be psyop to try to convince everyone liberals are right wing.
Liberalism and conservatism are both offshoots of economic liberalism, favoring the rights of private property owners. Read a book
Support of private property does not make someone right wing. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And it's not a criteria listed anywhere on any definition.
I mean if you're under feudal relations supporting capitalism makes you progressive, but right now we're operating under socialized production with capitalists constraining production around exchange value so yeah supporting maintaining capitalism is right wing. Let socialized production benefit society.
