There’s no utility in defining it the way

I ready described such utility in how it opposes our shallow images of "cApiTaLisM" (and meritocracy etc). Capitalism as instantiated doesn't match our descriptions of it. Human greed is the constant engine. Liberalism emerged from that emergent environment, and in some ways helps maintain aspects of those systems. But corporations will never actually support any ideology, whether that ideology supports or opposes "capitalism." Corporations (or rather the humans whose greed is their engine) will, at best, stab us in the eyes and ears with ANY fractured ideological images that gets them some near-term increase in power or profits.
