    Liberals believe in strong private property rights, which is one of the most core tenents of how capitalism works. It allows capitalists to accumulate their private property and hold it for profit. And by “believe”, I mean they advocate for this dynamic / structure.

      I think that’s a really good point. Strong property rights is a better way to put it, I’m going to add that from now on

      But the reason why I’m splitting hairs is because we’re at the point where they’re trying to privatize the FAA. In fact, they partially have under Trump 1, which is why the planes are breaking - we let airline companies inspect themselves

      And it’s not because Republicans believe in capitalism

      The problem we have isn’t some belief system, it’s just naked corruption

        Correct. While a lot of conservatives are liberals to some extent, a large number of them are becoming increasingly fascist. I appreciate this dialog we had here.
