I would say only a subset of liberals accept raw Capitalism. Liberals need free markets which is a contradiction with Capitalism.
To have less capitalistic structures, people would have to support something with no immedite benefits. Just waiting for Capitalism's decline is like waiting for Reddit's decline. It's always there but never so much that the majority switches. Something is missing that people act on their own.

What makes you talk so confidently about things you clearly don't know the first thing about?

liberalism is defined by its adherence to capitalism; if you're not a capitalist, then you're also not a liberal.

Liberalism is the ideological aspect of capitalism. "Raw capitalism" doesn'r really mean anything. To move onto socialism, we need to overthrow the state, replace it with a socialist one, and establish public ownership as the principle aspect of the economy. Countries like China, Vietnam, and Cuba have already done this, as did the former USSR.
