Is liberal used here in the correct sense or in the USA sense? I can never tell which it is in English

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the sense of liberalism as the ideological superstructure of capitalism.

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The correct sense then. Thank you

My girlfriend thinks capitalism is fine and doesn’t care about billionaires existing.

She’s never had a minimum wage job or worked in the service industry 🙄

99% of the people that think capitalism is awesome, are not remotely aware of what capitalism is.
