Liberalism is the ideology of advocating for liberty.

Invading foreign coutnries and submitting them to production quota's at the threat of death is not liberty.

I recommend reading a dictionary https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/liberalism

So imperialism is... not taxing people? That's a very fluid take on it

just what exactly is liberal about invading foreign countries and submitting them to production quota's at the threat of death?

Private property alone doesn't make capitalism, by that logic the ancient civilzations of egypt and sumer would already be capitalist. Capitalism is a collection of ideas, from the right to own private property to freedom of association, none of which is compatible with slavery.

Which is a big reason why the capitalist countries were the first to outlaw slavery.

Brazil? Their maximum tax bracket isn't even half of what I'm currently paying in taxes, and I'm not even in the highest bracket
