We need a Lemmy dictionary so someone can finally clarify what people mean when they say “liberal”

[–] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.

Not it is super short. Liberals are people who believe in free market capitalism.

Liberalism is the ideological backbone of Capitalism. Capitalists are Capital owners, not just supporters of Capitalism.
