I think you’re conflating liberalism with capitalism, which isn’t really accurate.
Capitalism can exist without liberalism, and this does lead into fascism, but that’s still capitalism.
No, I’m literally giving examples of how Adam Smith defined the foundations of capitalism, which both liberals and so-called conservatives normally favor as their preferred economic theory, and how these foundations contrast with a different philosophy favored by different people.
Anyway, I’m done beating a dead horse here.
Adam Smith didn’t invent capitalism. It’s not a philosophy, it was an economic system that emerged from certain material relations. Liberalism, and fascism, are just two of the ideological frameworks that can reproduce capitalism’s material base and both of which emerge from the material base of capitalism.
