The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been detained by Israel and reportedly maltreated by her Israeli captors after she was kidnapped, along with hundreds of other activists, from Gaza’s territorial waters on Friday.

      Liberals are not leftists or allies, you object to “purity tests” because you know you’ll fail them

                  “Personal liberty” is what allows capitalists to exploit us. They have all the “liberty” you think you have. The “liberty” to put lies in the media, to pay you less than the value of your labor in order to extract a profit, to charge extortionist prices for healthcare and other basic needs, to influence politics and to crush competing public industries. These are all the things that “liberty” gets you under capitalism. “Personal liberty above all” != working class liberation.

                    So there’s no liberty under communism? I’d say class freedom is extreme liberty

          Greta is very clearly not a liberal. She’s been very vocally anticapitalist these past few years.

              You quite literally cannot. Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism.

                  Economic liberalism is associated with markets and private ownership of capital assets. Economic liberals tend to oppose government intervention and protectionism in the market economy when it inhibits free trade and competition, but tend to support government intervention where it protects property rights, opens new markets or funds market growth, and resolves market failures.[2]
