    Well that’s just absurd. Liberals have always cared about economic policy. That’s what liberals have been from their beginning. The liberal Revolution was the capitalist Revolution and vice versa. They’re inherently linked. What you are spouting here is a myth that liberals tell themselves and others to try to justify them continuing the capitalist system even though it goes against everything else they claim to believe, and which they will always favor over those supposedly beliefs.

        Liberalism has been linked to the ownership of private property since its inception. While it made some platitudes to social freedoms, they have not been the driving force.

        There’s a reason our freedoms have had to be protested and rioted to be gained from liberal governments.
