There’s all kinds of authoritarian ideologies that are incompatible with liberalism. Not unfortunately that uncommon, especially nowadays that that shit has had a resurgence
Liberalism itself, in that it upholds capitalism, is “authoritarian.” Not sure what you’re getting at, ideologies all vary in quantity of holders and historic importance, I see no reason to pretend monarchists are equally as relevant to the right as liberals.
Well that’s certainly a take. But I’m not talking about just monarchists, lots of other groups than monarchists that don’t subscribe to ideas of liberalism. It’s just not capitalism = liberalism.
And the point was just that this is directed at liberals for some reason when it could be directed at all the groups that do the same thing. That’s all.
Most authoritarian conservative right-wing movements gaining popularity right now are far away from the values that make up liberalism. There’s no shortage of those. In Europe they’re likely going to sweep most of the continent, if the recent polls hold true.
Those are subsections of liberalism, I think you’re trying too hard to wishcast an ideal form of liberalism and cut out all of the other significant forms of it. Liberalism was used to justify colonialism, the slave trade, and continues to be used to justify imperialism.
I think you’re using a much wider definition for liberalism than is common or at least what I’m familiar with. And it’s a big tent to begin with. Many of those movements are against most of what are typically considered core values of liberalism, so that’s why they’re often not included, as a subsection or otherwise.
I’m using the common, historically relevant definition, the ideology supportive of individualism and private property rights. We can go more into its origins and how its changed over the years, but that’s liberalism at its core.
I think the group that holds those views, ie monarchists, etc, is very, very small and not really relevant. That’s more my point.

Can you name an example with any actual significance that complains about communism but isn’t liberal?
