Liberalism and conservatism are both offshoots of economic liberalism, favoring the rights of private property owners. Read a book
Support of private property does not make someone right wing. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And it's not a criteria listed anywhere on any definition.
I mean if you're under feudal relations supporting capitalism makes you progressive, but right now we're operating under socialized production with capitalists constraining production around exchange value so yeah supporting maintaining capitalism is right wing. Let socialized production benefit society.
You're really not helping your case here. You're repulsed by facts, and double down on your own ignorance.
Liberalism is the ideology of liberalized i.e. free markets. This isn't a disputed opinion. It's literally the textbook definition. You need to start at the very basics of Economics if you're not aware of this.
Free markets that allow for free trade are by their very nature required to own property that can be traded, because why the fuck would society trade society's property within society?
