    A liberal economy is a capitalist economy. A capitalist economy allows individuals to freely trade goods and services between each other.

    Political commentators in the US try to change the meaning to be any left wing movement. Despite liberal being an appropriate label to groups within both conservative and progressive politicians.

      A capitalist economy is inherently authoritarian and conservative, stifling liberties and freedoms for most

          The hierarchy of capitalism where holding more money and wealth is authority and power over those who have less.

            That’s in every country though, regardless of its economic system. For Communism, it’s just the state that has the authority and power

              Isn’t communism stateless though? And vanguard party totalitarian states aren’t it.

              Anyway, there’s an infinite amount of options which aren’t capitalist to move on with

                Communism is meant to be stateless, yeah!

                but in practice it has a central authoritarian state.

                  We don’t really know the second sentence. Any central authoritarian state doesn’t have communist qualities and such a state can’t be trusted on what they claim they are
