Liberals didn't do this, it was the working class organizing and banding together that forced their hand. Liberals opposed these measures until they were forced to implement them.
From the suffragettes, civil rights movement, abolitionists, Black Panther Party, trade unions, communists, socialists, and regular working people together, these measures were forced. Social Security was a reaction to revolutionary potential, fearing the working class would overthrow the capitalists like they did in Russia in creating the Soviet Union and implemented sweeping safety nets.
Liberals are not on the left, and trying to take credit for the measures they had to be forced into implementing is peak liberalism.
Please stop trying to split up the left. We need to come together more than ever to defeat fascism.
liberals have far more in common with the fascists they donate to than with the leftists who fought for and won all the things listed in that godawful picture you decided to share here
