    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 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.
