I agree with that, Liberalism as an ideology exists to justify capitalist relations and protect property rights. The mistake people make is in thinking that Liberalism is somehow progressive to begin with.

In practice, it’s like a coin with two very different sides. On one face, you’ve got political liberalism that’s all about individual freedoms, fair elections, and human rights. This is the feel-good stuff that's used to market Liberalism and make it seem universally appealing.

But flip that coin over and you get economic liberalism, which is really just capitalism wearing a fancy philosophical mask. This side worships markets, treats private property as sacred, and assumes wealth accumulation is basically a human right. Since property rights are seen as the foundation of all other freedoms, the system effectively locks in wealth inequality by making redistribution seem like theft.

That’s why liberals lose their minds whenever governments impinge on the rights of the rich or regulate corporations. In their worldview, any limit on property rights is a threat to freedom itself.

I thought this was a great take on the whole thing
