Liberalism requires individual freedom, including free markets. Capitalism ends with monopolies that destroy free markets.
It is not the same. Liberal societies must want regulated markets.
monopolies are a feature of capitalism and liberalism is defined by its regulation of capitalism; meaning that it's a part of capitalism too just like conservatism, imperialism, colonialism, and fascism are as well.
