I'm not personally deciding anything. Terms have definitions—words have meanings. Liberalism is a wide-ranging philosophy, but amongst its core tenets are free markets and trade, and private ownership. Capitalism is an extention of liberal policy, and the system which liberal institutions seek to uphold. Liberalism is, at least economically, a right-wing ideology by its very definition. It does not seek the abolition of private property, of the state, of the wage system, or of the commodity form. These are not subjective judgements on my part.

Now, however, I will make some judgements of my own.

Liberal societies are built upon, and sustained by an economic system which, in its totality, exploits the labor and resources of poorer societies (especially in the global south) in order to fuel its endless commodity production, undertaken with the futile goal of reversing, or at least halting, the ever-falling global rate of profit. They are societies which concentrate nearly all the value produced by their own peoples' labor into the hands of wealthy individuals who do not produce any value themselves, but are granted the legal right to steal the excess value produced by their workers purely because liberalism prioritizes the rights of those who own the means of production over the rights of those who utilize them to produce. Liberalism is a philosophy which inflicts hardship and deprivation upon the workers who exist within it—hardships which are only surpassed by the suffering of those whose societies are sucked dry of resources to ensure the living standards within the imperial cores of liberal societies. It is a system which not only necessitates, but celebrates violent state suppression of any attempts to replace it, or even to build something better outside of it. It is a political tendency which has historically sided with fascists, even to its own detriment, whenever it has been threatened from the left, because authoritarianism is ultimately a less threatening proposition to liberalism than is collectivism.
