Greta is very clearly not a liberal. She's been very vocally anticapitalist these past few years.

You can be liberal and anticapitalist

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 1 points 48 minutes ago (1 children)

You quite literally cannot. Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism.

No, it's not. It means I believe in personal liberty over economic system

Economic liberalism is associated with markets and private ownership of capital assets. Economic liberals tend to oppose government intervention and protectionism in the market economy when it inhibits free trade and competition, but tend to support government intervention where it protects property rights, opens new markets or funds market growth, and resolves market failures.[2]

In the sense that the government can't seize your shit for no reason well ddduuuuhhhhh MOST people are going to feel that way that doesn't mean we can't tax the shit out of billionaires or drag them out into the street
