there are multiple varying definitions of liberal depending on the time, location, and context reddit thread discussing this
edit: i like getting downvotes for attempting to add nuance, i'm not even a liberal (by any definition), i'm a socialist anarchist
I mean, liberals by really almost any definition will still be pro-Capitalism, from Classical Liberalism to American Democratic Party liberalism. Once people go further left, into anti-Capitalism, they almost always stop using that label.
