    I mean, monarchy supported capitalism. Even many socialist countries support capitalism. So supporting capitalism isn’t specific enough.

      Monarchists didn’t really support Capitalism, and neither do Communists support Capitalism. Primarily, what is dominant in terms of class structure determines the system, broadly. Liberals want a system dominated by Capitalism and Capitalists, and support measures that protect and service that structure.

          What do you think Capitalism is? It has dethroned the Monarchies throughout history, or relegated them to a fraction of their former power.

          All Socialist countries are headed by Communist parties currently, ideologically they are Communists. This is splitting hairs.
