I caught a mod at Late Stage Capitalism admitting they aren’t from the US, so they deleted all my posts and banned me.

    You said it by saying you’re a liberal. The right to privately own the means of production is foundational to liberalism.

    The first sentence from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism; emphasis mine:

    Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.

    The second sentence from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_property:

    Private property is foundational to capitalism, an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

    There are two philosophies of capitalism: liberalism, when capitalism is running smoothly; and fascism, when late capitalism is in crisis.
