Bla bla liberals bad amirite?
Yes, we don't think capitalists should control the world economy here, and that workers should. Liberals staunchly oppose workers, and defend capitalists "rights" to enslave the world.
I agree with workers controlling the economy. I disagree that liberalism's goal is to enslave the world or to blindly defend capitalism. The world is complex. No financial system is perfect. We have definitely found out the hard way how capitalism ruins everything. Things have to change. They will eventually. And that change definitely won't happen by people voting for "status quo" politicians.
Then you need to stop calling yourself a liberal, because you disagree with its core tenets.
I highly recommend reading Losurdo's Liberalism - A counter-history, if you want a full historical overview of what liberalism is.
