    Liberals fundamentally believe in the capitalist system. They would just like to reform it, or regulate it just the right amount. Within the US political spectrum, liberals are cast as “left wing”. Here on Lemmy, many people will encounter (perhaps for the first time) political perspectives that disdain liberals as the moderate wing of fascism. To these perspectives, liberalism is so wedded to capitalism, that it will sooner capitulate to naked fascism than make common cause with any anticapitalist revolutionaries.
