Sorry but "anti capitalist liberal"? But liberalism is capitalism

it's amazing how many people think "liberal" = "leftist"

We can blame America for that

yea I had the same reaction. In the US I think it bears a different meaning, they equate liberal with the left. Even though it hardly makes sense, it's the usage
