I think the world liberal is used... Liberally. I usually equate it in the US political term for left of center (or rather the opposite of conservatives), but I know the entire US political system is hijacked - both "sides" answer to the same overlords

Yes, the entire spectrum of the DNC and GOP falls under liberalism to fascism, there are pretty much no leftists in US politics.

The general, international use of "liberal" used here and in leftist circles refers to economic liberalism, which is favoring capitalism (private control of the means of production), free markets, and individualism.

I guess I find it confusing because (for me), the term liberal was used as a synonym for a lefty. I know left of US "liberals" don't like liberals, but that's more of a recent revelation to me
