    That presumes the binary is focused on economy when most nations are still debating freedom from the government and thus liberalism should be the start of the left.

      This presumes the liberal view that liberalism is truly “freedom from the government” whatever that means(it’s not) and that such a thing is a requirement for a leftist position (it’s not)

        And you are presuming the discussions being had are about capitalism when they are still debating the role of the government in private ownership.

        It’s a eurocentric position. It’s odd how many “leftists” fall into this.
