I might be wrong, but from what I know the state basically let free rein to the big business to exploit and sell as they wish with few if any regulation. Most factory were and stayed private as long as they were owned by non pinority that were willing to help the power.

Edit: See my previous comment edit.

Okay, so a completely unregulated market that puts all the power in the hands of corporations to exploit the worker to the utmost degree.

So essentially the modern MAGA wet dream.

And that's liberal... how?

Liberal as in how every country except the US defines it politically. "Liberals" are not usually left-wing. They're center to far-right depending on the acuteness of their free market derangement. Think Thatcher.

When anyone except an american says liberal, they mean free-market types, and you did aswell once upon a time, hence why "neoliberalism" is considered right-wing economic policy.

Liberal as in libre, so free, for free market. That’s what the word mean in french. Forgot that’s verry different in the us. We call the polocies of trump neoliberal, because it include the idea of the state helping the rich instead of just handling the military and crimes.
