Liberalism is not inconsistent with regulation. Oligarchy introduces inefficiencies to the market. Liberal Democrats have been generally open to and supportive of regulations which oppose oligarchic monopolies, and mitigate externalities. They certainly have their flaws, too many to enumerate here, but they generally want the market to run as "purely" as possible, without the confounding effects of oligarchy. Oligarchy and monopolies upset the mechanisms of the market, and the liberals are the ones passing regulations to try to prevent that. This much is obvious by the existence of regulations, and the near absence of legislators to the left of liberals.

wow look another facetious argument.

I'm not pro "oligarchy" i'm pro liberal governance, oligarchy is by definition, not liberal. It gives excised power to people with money, that is by definition not liberal.

I'm pro capitalism because i think capitalism as a decentralized method of controlling the markets and businesses (i also think that regulation is important, because i don't have brain damage like libertarians seem to, but for some reason anytime someone on the left hears that someone is a capitalist, they assume they must be anti-regulation also), is the best way to go about it. State controlled markets simply cannot work, unless someone proposes a white paper disproving me, i will maintain that point. But if you can deterministically create an economy, that supports the needs of everyone in that economy, feel free to disprove me. The problem is that you can't because it's such an incredibly complex problem.

pro market economy isn't really a bad thing? I like people being able to buy and sell things, it's good. It's problematic sometimes, and rough other times, but that's just how it is. The market will generally bring itself to a normalized position over time.

i am literally against elon musk being in the government, people in the government having and owning investments, i think it's corruption plain and simple, i'm against corruption because it obviously leads to a negative outcome for the people the system is supposed to work for, again, liberalism does not like that.

Maybe it isn’t a failure of the goal, but that willing yourself into power isn’t going to magically make it happen.

it certainly won't be the left doesn't even have a plan of what to do when they get into power, the liberals don't really either, but we at least know what we want governance to look like, and that's a great start.

The left hates the current form of US government, and the things they want that they can clearly spell out, are not forms of governance, merely policy, so i'm not sure how they plan to get from step 2, to step 5 without falling in a hole somewhere.

you mean like the communists? And japanese internment camps?

There's definitely bad things in there, don't get me wrong. But my original statement is still true.
