Among the various regional and national movements, the civil rights movement in the United States during the 1960s strongly highlighted the liberal efforts for equal rights.[197] The Great Society project launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson oversaw the creation of Medicare and Medicaid, the establishment of Head Start and the Job Corps as part of the War on Poverty and the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, an altogether rapid series of events that some historians have dubbed the “Liberal Hour”.[198]
Even in America, liberalism is left.
And the meme interpreted as the left absolutely stands
None of those claimed liberalism was left wing. Liberalism is the ideological superstructure of capitalism, it supports private property rights above all else. I really think you need to step back for a second and try to see what others are telling you, rather than try to convince people that capitalism is left wing.
I already did. Leftism is about progressing to the next mode of production, it’s historically progressive and revolutionary. Rightism is about retaining the current system or trying to go backwards, ie the “good old days.” Socialism is left wing, capitalism is right wing. Liberalism is the ideological superstructure of capitalism, ergo it’s right wing.
Secondly, you never actually answered me about what it means to be left wing, or why you think capitalism is left wing. You just copied and pastied the first things you googled without engaging with the points made by others here and myself.

Anymore of this nonsense I’m just going to post chatgpt references cause I know how you all love that
Incredible, a liberal publication talking about political ideology within the confines of liberalism.
What do you think “left-wing” even means? Why would anyone consider liberalism to be left-wing?
I’ve been answering a lot of stuff here. How about you tell me what you define it as

Have you heard of cooperatives. Would you categorize a cooperative as a right leaning concept
Neither left nor right, really, it depends on the context.
Again, though, you never answered me.
Hmmmmm really?
It’s being definition 😂
Melvin, you should listen to Cowbee. You’re misinformed, but don’t have to stay that way.
