nonsocialists
Free market supporters
People who are not socialists—those who don't advocate for collective ownership of production or wealth redistribution.
The term appears in political discourse to distinguish opposing camps: Nonsocialists argue that free markets allocate resources more efficiently.
It's a broad category encompassing everyone from centrists to libertarians to conservatives.
