Capitalists would like you to believe that liberalism is the left-most edge of the economic spectrum, precisely because it is the left-most point on the spectrum that doesn’t threaten their power.
True leftism threatens the power of capitalists. Liberalism is not leftism.

    I am here in good faith too, I just don’t think I share your belief that capitalism can be brought to heel when it has almost unfettered power and every incentive in it is towards the sort of system we have now. And that transferring that weight to an entire populous of ethical consumers just doesn’t bare fruit.

      Seems you gave up a long time ago and don’t want to get back in the fight. I’ll be over here boycotting google chrome and asking one billion others to join me. Be well and have a nice weekend!
