The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been detained by Israel and reportedly maltreated by her Israeli captors after she was kidnapped, along with hundreds of other activists, from Gaza’s territorial waters on Friday.
Economic liberalism is associated with markets and private ownership of capital assets. Economic liberals tend to oppose government intervention and protectionism in the market economy when it inhibits free trade and competition, but tend to support government intervention where it protects property rights, opens new markets or funds market growth, and resolves market failures.[2]
People who call themselves liberal are not economic liberal you completely dense morons. In the sense that the government can’t seize your shit for no reason well ddduuuuhhhhh MOST people are going to feel that way that doesn’t mean we can’t tax the shit out of billionaires or drag them out into the street
You not wanting to understand what we’re telling you does not make us the morons.
edit:
In the sense that the government can’t seize your shit […] that doesn’t mean we can’t tax the shit out of billionaires
Doesn’t it? Where do you draw the line between taxes and government seizure, especially in the context of capital owners? Also, wouldn’t it be far more effective for the government to simply own the means of production and operate at the behest of the people? Does taxing capitalists more while still allowing them to have full control over the means of production - which they’ll use to influence the people and government in their favor - not simply set up the same situation we find ourselves in now, just some amount of time down the road?
I would say it does set that up (in fact it has in the past, just look at what was in the new deal and how it’s been eroded since it was signed. Assuming you’re familiar with US history…), and that is why liberalism is incompatible with anti-capitalism.
No, liberalism means INDEPENDENT of the economic system I believe in personal liberty. Billionaires shitting on everything INTERFERES with my and my peoples personal liberty therefore it must be destroyed
A millionaire with 999M$ is a person but +1$ make him not a person anymore? How you judge that? Where is the line in this shit ideology that the personal liberty above all stops people to gain more riches?
No, it’s not. It means I believe in personal liberty over economic system
Shitlibs even too lazy for wikipedia

You might feel that way, but committed ideological liberals would strongly disagree with you.
“I believe in personal liberty over economic system”
A billionaire is no longer a person
A millionaire with 999M$ is a person but +1$ make him not a person anymore? How you judge that? Where is the line in this shit ideology that the personal liberty above all stops people to gain more riches?

Profit does not supercede personal liberty
