No. And I'm also not a capitalist. Both are 20th century ideologies. (And they are words that have been stretched and abused to the point of meaninglessness: remember, in the 1990s, Microsoft called Linux "communist": https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ ) I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress. These are timeless principles. The question is how to use the tools we have available to achieve these values in the context of the 21st century. I've written at length about the kinds of mechanisms I personally support, but I definitely do not think that I am the only source of good ideas, I think figuring out the best approach is a shared project of both thinking and also increasingly real world experimentation.

Also when you say freedom do you mean individual liberty or do you mean liberation from institutional oppression of classes

Some of both. Liberation from institutional oppression, without individual liberty, is imo too easily turned into a slogan to justify new forms of institutional oppression Individual liberty without liberation from institutional oppression too easily slides into forms of oppression that leave people alone in a purely formal sense but are still highly extractive
