I'm just saying it's not exactly a hard concept

I don't think you can call yourself a classical liberal if you dont know who John Locke is

gatekeeper

Like I said I get a lot of concepts and information from other people, mostly on youtube. But I form my opinions on my own

Yes i thought it might be youtubers

anyway it doesnt matter

it doesnt mean capitalism

Well if you reject property rights it means anyone can just go to your car and take it

private property and free exchange of goods is a prominent characteristic of classical liberal thought

but not so much capitalism per say

take john stuart mill

one of the most influencial liberal thinkers

in his later life he was against the wage system

which is intrinsic to capitalism

yes it's true you have classical liberals in the Austran school of economics that championed capitalism. But that's not the same thing as classical liberalism

What's he's alternative to wages?

There's loads of alternatives. Syndicalism for example

If you go back to the bear roots of classical liberal thought

which is the english civil war

one second let me find something

ok so there were many political movemenets at the time

it stems back to the levellers

and the group split into two divisions

one was the diggers of woh were agrarian syndicalists

and the levellers which closely resemble classical liberals

```The Levellers was a political movement during the English Civil War (1642–1651) that emphasized popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law, and religious tolerance, ```

this is where are movement starts

JSM entry

```Within this revised work he also made the radical proposal that the whole wage system be abolished in favour of a co-operative wage system. ```

you can be a classical liberal and support other economic systems

it's just we support capitalism because capitalism works

do other systems not work then?

and because it's proven to maximise freedom and liberty more than any other system known

as well as increasing prosperity

Socialism does not work

Syndicalism has been proven to not work too

in Israel you have Kibbutz which were syndicalist

and they were all subsidised by the state

and their produce was inferior compared to what was being produced by the capitalist markets

So if other systems don't work, and capitalism does, then that means capitalism is naturally better
