    Aren’t they just saying that liberals and fascist both defend capitalism and are therefore both against them? Similar but not the same?

        According to their wiki, which is blocked in China, funnily enough–Democracies are actually fascist states!

      Kind of. The meme follows the way the USA’s capitalists co-opted the term liberalism. It’s a bit of a mess and supports capitalist lingo

      This is one of the cases which implies that the instance registration isn’t fool-proof and there’re some pro capitalist users messing with them

        A liberal economy is a capitalist economy. A capitalist economy allows individuals to freely trade goods and services between each other.

        Political commentators in the US try to change the meaning to be any left wing movement. Despite liberal being an appropriate label to groups within both conservative and progressive politicians.

          A capitalist economy is inherently authoritarian and conservative, stifling liberties and freedoms for most

              The hierarchy of capitalism where holding more money and wealth is authority and power over those who have less.

                That’s in every country though, regardless of its economic system. For Communism, it’s just the state that has the authority and power

                  Isn’t communism stateless though? And vanguard party totalitarian states aren’t it.

                  Anyway, there’s an infinite amount of options which aren’t capitalist to move on with

                    Communism is meant to be stateless, yeah!

                    but in practice it has a central authoritarian state.
