    Liberalism is pro-Capitalism. Leftism changes, not liberalism. Democrats are liberals, not leftists.

      Liberalism is the idea of giving people rights to assure their well-being. Liberalism doesn’t change, however it always finds new goals and with that new rights to secure for people. Once it secures a certain right it can be seen as integral to the ideology in the future and some of these rights are indeed the ones that make capitalism possible.
