Liberal democracies are constantly having to enforce new regulations because capital owners are constantly finding new ways to abuse their ownership of property in ways that harm others.

I think you accidentally just said the antithesis to your entire argument by claiming liberals are protecting individual rights from those who would take advantage of them.

liberals are protecting individual rights

Yes, they are protecting individual rights to property, and that's a huge issue.

Personally I think a much bigger issue is that no rights are being protected and we're devolving into a white nationalist militaristic dictatorship which refuses to tax the rich.

But keep wingeing about the horrors of copyright laws and small scale landlords.

Nah, I can just see past the noise of nationalism to what systemic conditions gave rise to it. Thinking we can return to liberal democracy without seizing some portion of our means of production away from private ownership is nothing more than naivete.

But keep winging about the horrors of socialism.

Lmfao, Tankies talking about nationalism and the conditions that give rise to authoritarianism. What a fucking joke.

Lmao, liberals deluding themselves thinking authoritarianism just pops into existence out of happenstance
