Nobody who understands both communism and anarchism would say that in the context of opposition to liberalism.

I’m referring to the political compass, not center right liberals. Yall just refer to anyone that doesn’t love authoritarian regimes as “liberals.”

The political compass is useless for describing actual ideologies. Partly because that’s not how ideologies work, partly because you can’t divorce political philosophies from their contexts in society.

Here’s an academic work going over what liberalism meant to every major liberal philosopher.

Like anarchists, we only call people who support capitalism liberals, because liberalism is the philosophy of capitalism.
