Liberalism is pro-Capitalism, therefore it's right wing.

Liberalism is also pro social freedom. We should specify economically or socially liberal, depending on the political party it may be a different percentage of each.

Liberal means centre-right to right in most of Europe, and right-wing in much of the rest of the world.

I was already contented with the fact that people here were going to circlejerk themselves into this.

Liberalism is an ideology of freedom. Freedom is a matter of circumstances. Being free to exploit others closes down your world thus it is not to be considered liberal. Neither will you be free if you get a cop on every corner or taking away your possessions in the name of equality.

You only really gain freedom through following the intuition on what would open up the world the most for the most people.

For America, the answer is more socialism. But the Democrats and the Republicans are neo-liberals.
