Capitalists have been trying to steal the term multiple times — there is nothing liberal, liberties or freedom under the hierarchy of capitalism. Liberal is relative, and relatively speaking it's anticapitalist.

Newspeak is invented all the time. It's everyone's responsibility not to accept fake rhetoric

The world moves, you can't use terms from 300 years ago in today's world.

Someone should really update Wikipedia, they're still in the year 1723 with this anticapitalist description

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, and equality before the law.[1][2][3] Liberals espouse various views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion,[11] constitutional government, privacy rights, and regulations on the role of technology in the private and public sectors.

Interesting, never visited that page so I didn't know. Thanks for the heads up, comrade.

Watch out. It could be dirty communist propaganda

At least it wouldn't be nazist, white supremacist propaganda.
