    Nah I’m not. I know that US/UK/AUS/anglosphere capitalists try to say they’re liberal but there’s nothing liberal under a capitalist hierarchy. Apparently they’re trying to be sneaky in Canada as well

      Ahh gotcha, I wasn’t sure. And yeah the Liberals here are like progressive classic conservatives. They’re not insane like current conservatives but they like to maintain the current status quo and will occasionally give us something like dental care but limit it to a very small subset of people. And that’s only if forced to by the supporting left leaning party (NDP).

        Yeah exactly. Conservatives & authoritarians really like to market with phrases like “economic liberalism” or “free markets”. Always building a power structure which limits freedoms
