    Liberals are capitalists and would be on board with socially progressive ideas as long as it doesn’t hinder their capacity to make business.

    The French revolution saw the rise of the rich bourgeoisie as opposed to nobility. “Human rights” include the ability to exploit others.

    That is why they care so much about gay rights and postering as anti-racist. It doesn’t cost them anything as opposed to decrease military spending, quit supporting american imperialism, reparation to first nation or universal health-care.

    The role of the liberals is to give crumbles to the working class so they keep voting for the boss. Enlightened rulers.

      debatable, i highly doubt you would ever find a liberal that wants to rollback workers rights so that we can better exploit workers. Liberals tend to be capitalist because capitalism espouses ideas of liberalism. Monopolies and oligarchies are not liberal by nature, so there is some innate level of restriction on this problem.

        Monopolies and oligarchies are the mathematics conclusion of capitalism. Liberals tends to be capitalist because it’s their first-world interest to do so. The minutes we’re talking about defunding the army, they’re whining.
