The point I’m making is that “liberal” is taken up as a name by people who would call themselves “socialist” everywhere else, except that’s a dirty word. So their very ways of thinking are constrained to a “non-socialist liberal” knot, where they must show that socialist issues and solutions are somehow not socialist but liberal, otherwise people won’t vote for it.
Liberal stands for late-stage capitalism around the world. Liberal parties are right wing everywhere. Only the US has this mind-broken thing where they must pretend they are not socialists but left-wing liberals.
Neoliberal is the oxymoron newspeak word for capitalists trying to pretend they’re not conservatives and authoritarian.
Regular liberals just lie on the opposing side if the spectrum of anything against freedoms, like hierarchies and authoritarianism, thus capitalism as well.
Americans think falsely that moderate right wingers are libs (maybe Brits, Canadians, Aussies have similarly lingo). “Classic liberalism” and “libertarianism” are similar rebrands – name promise freedom, actions bolster the current oppression system. Elsewhere a person has to be an anti-capitalist first and foremost to be considered a lib as it’s the biggest freedom limit our time has (of course there are other anti-capitalist alignments as well).
The latter is the reason both western and eastern fascism are united to hate the libs – it’s a counter to the oppression they support
