First off freedom is Liberalism.
Second off freedom is weak.
Third off most Collectivists are more Right-Wing than Individualists.
The problem with Freedom & Capitalism is it allows the Kosher Globalists the freedom to control the media, Hollywood, the social media too.
That's why your side is losing big.
"First off freedom is Liberalism."
You couldn't be more wrong.
You could attempt to be, but you wouldn't succeed.
"Liberalism' is the title the Socialist Party stole, and has used to hide its big government statism, demanding the bending of the neck and the knee by citizens.
Wise up.
Classical Liberalism & Neo Liberalism is what Republicans practice.
I blame mostly Reagan for botching up the definitions.
That's because you are ignorant.
Today's Liberals are not the classical liberals who founded this nation.....they would be referred to as conservatives today.
Communist John Dewey prevailed on the Socialist Party to change its name to 'Liberal.'
"...[John] Dewey arguably did more than any other reformer to repackage progressive social theory in a way that obscured just how radically its principles departed from those of the American founding. Like Ely and many of his fellow progressive academics, Dewey initially embraced the term “socialism” to describe his social theory. Only after realizing how damaging the name was to the socialist cause did he, like other progressives, begin to avoid it. In the early 1930s, accordingly, Dewey begged the Socialist party, of which he was a longtime member, to change its name. “The greatest handicap from which special measures favored by the Socialists suffer,” Dewey declared, “is that they are advanced by the Socialist party as Socialism. The prejudice against the name may be a regrettable prejudice but its influence is so powerful that it is much more reasonable to imagine all but the most dogmatic Socialists joining a new party than to imagine any considerable part of the American people going over to them.” Dewey’s influential 1935 tract, Liberalism and Social Action, should be read in the light of this."

Very wrong.
The Founding Fathers weren't Classical Liberals.
They were a mix of Paleo Conservatives with the Authoritarian Right.
Both parties are Left wing here in the USA.
Interesting, and indicative, that you have yet to understand this fact: I'm never wrong.
You're usually wrong.
Capitalism wasn't a full concept during the Founding Fathers constructs, the initial beginnings started rolling a bit just after the American Revolutionary War,
by Scottish Adam Smith's philosophy works, like his work on the Wealth of Nations may have setup some minor Capitalist sentiments.
But, the Founding Fathers were largely Authoritarians for Mercantilism.
For example, the economy was driven quite the amount of regulation, and the Democracy was very limited, with only 6% of the USA being able to vote in the first election.... Being White male property owners.
They owned slaves, they were prejudiced, White supremacists.
They had no intention on equality for most people in America.
