Yes, I’m certain! Liberalism advocates for free markets, free markets cause the accumulation of wealth, because the more money you have the more money you can make, and since money is power, liberalism leads to the concentration of power into fewer and fewer hands, which inevitably leads to fascism.
I had to do my own quick research because liberal vs libertarian distinction in a cultural context, at least on the American side of the internet, is pretty crooked - with the term liberal being used to describe the ideas generally recognized to be socdem.
No apology necessary, I totally understand it! Liberals have been running this propaganda campain for centuries, so it’s a real uphill battle for leftists. I really appreciate you doing the research and getting back to me. Your comment makes all of my efforts worthwhile. Thank you <3
Imagine there is a nice park which is used by the community. The park is owned by a kind, old man, who allows everyone to use it freely.
When the man passes away, the park is inherited by his son. His son exercises his freedom to build an oil rig on the park, and putting fences around it.
His freedom to do what he wants with private property deprives others of their freedom to use the park.
This is how liberalism works in practice. Freedom to own land means the freedom to deprive others from the use of the land.
Freedom of the wealthy to own land and the means of production means that they accumulate wealth and thus power, and they use that power freely to exert influence on politics.
You know what else exists in the west? Starvation, homelessness and medical debt. The freedom to profit from food, shelter and healthcare means that you are forced into laboring, usually for the benefit and profit of wealthy private individuals, who pay you for less than your work is actually worth, because otherwise you die. Is that freedom?
Feel free to try to improve the problems you see, but the track record for either autocracies or anarchists doing better is so far Zilch.
The USA, which is actually a pretty horrible country on many issues, has one of the best records for making sure everyone is food of human history. The closest thing they’ve ever had to a famine was the dustbowl.
I think healthcare should be socialized as it is in many European Nations.
Clearly there are many examples of governments in general and very much so Capitalism addressing all your worries.

Actually, there are current and historical examples of very successful anarchist societies. For a couple of examples, at present, the Zapatistas exist, an anarchist region with at least 300,000 people living under it, and also that Revolutionary Spain existed, an extremely successful example of anarchism in practice which resisted Nazi Germany better than any democratic nation in mainland Europe.
The USA, which is actually a pretty horrible country on many issues, has one of the best records for making sure everyone is food
In 2025, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that an estimated 12.8% of the US population were living in low-income and low-access census tracts. Of this number, 19 million people live in “food deserts”, which they define as low-income census tracts that are more than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles (16 kilometers) from a supermarket in rural areas.
I think healthcare should be socialized as it is in many European Nations.
So do a majority of Americans, and yet it has not happened. Why not? Because the wealthy rule, because of capitalism.

So yes, you’re very much correct, apologies

Aye, good man!
Laissez Faire Capitalists advocate for Free Markets, Liberals do not. Also, you’re supposed to be an Anarchist? So you also argue for Free Markets.
Let me explain it in simple terms.

This is gonna blow your fucking mind: Public and Protected Lands exist in the West.

Someone hasn’t heard of food deserts!
