If you didn't believe in capitalism you would probably be considered a socialist or maybe an anarchist.

Just read the intro on Wikipedia.

Exactly. And Democrats, especially in RI, are just socially liberal, and not economically left leaning as you would think. They only look progressive compared to Republicans.

This state is almost completely controlled by Democrats and yet this state does not resemble anything leftist.

Heck, look at the recent LA City Council news - turns out most of the Democrats were racist as fuck. They aren't even socially liberal. It's all a show.
