- Novosell 3y agoMind you, he said liberalism and not liberal. Modern day conservatives tend to be very pro-capitalism, which liberalism loved. Not sure when things got all turned around in America. Liberalism = smaller government and a free market. Yet in the US a "liberal" dislikes capitalism and wants more government? It's odd.
