Capitalism is very tied into Liberalism, private property ownership and free markets are Liberal ideas. You’d have to bend them quite out of shape to arrive at socialist liberalism.
The fact is that some individual rights have to be sacrificed for the collective good, and that includes private ownership over productive assets.
You have to oppress oppressors, you have to resist violence with violence. You have to take things away from people who took things away from those they exploited.
We have a major political party which is liberal, progressive and socialist. We also have a major political party which is liberal, progressive and capitalist. We also have a semi-major political party which is liberal, conservative and capitalist.
And we also have major socalist conservative authoritarian party.
No bending out of shape was necessary.
One is “social” “democracy”, the other is the inalienable human right to food, health, housing, education, work, rest etc. through an economy owned/controlled by the working people. An economy where the parasites as a class have not only been liquidated, but are actively suppressed from reemerging.
But if being bad is bad how can you justify being bad to bad people to stop them from being bad? This is why nobody takes leftists seriously, 100+ years of communist and anarchist philosophy and you still haven’t figured out that basic contradiction

Socialism as in giving people social security is different from socialism as in socialist economy.
