Americans use the word "liberal" for left-wing ideologies

>americans use the word "liberal" for left-wing ideologies
holy fucking shit

that's weird

WHY ARE AMERICANS SO DUMB?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...

Liberalism is left wing, though.

desu, we have the Liberal Democrat party here as well. But the name doesn't come from "liberal" in the American sense.

...

Since the 1930s, without a qualifier the term "liberalism" in the United States usually refers to "modern liberalism", a political philosophy exemplified by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and, later, Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. It is a form of social liberalism, whose accomplishments include the Works Progress Administration and the Social Security Act in 1935, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

According to Louis Hartz, liberalism in the United States differs from liberalism elsewhere in the world because America never had a resident hereditary aristocracy,[3] and so avoided much of the "class warfare" that swept Europe.[4]

no it's not you idiot

...

Liberalism here normally means right wing/neoliberal
The idea of being against British liberalism is normally attributed to socialists/frogs

Well what use educated yuros and anglos call liberal is 'classic liberal' to amerisharts

liberalism is founded on liberty. if liberalism were left-wing, it would mean right-wingers were anti-american

Learn to speak English Bruce
“Classic liberal” is just proto neoliberalism it has nothing to do with leftism except open border policies

he said that the term liberal for euopeans is classical liberalism for amerimutts you retarded bong

>euros trying to wrap their head around the concept of the world not revolving around their history

>implying it doesnt

...

We learned only European history here.

>americans love capitalism but hate immigrants

Look up your own parliament back in the 18th century, when left and right dichotomy came from.

>liberalism is founded on liberty
Correct, on freedom, equality and individualism. Right wing is about authority, hiearchy and organic society.

kek except it's just the usa that differs from the entire world not us
other examples of the exact same shit would be football, the metric system or the law system
you are the only country that differs from 99% of the world so clearly it's you that think everything revolves around you, not us

Being authoritarian/libertarian has nothing to do with being left-wing or right-wing

Freedom/authority is like the most defining factor for the dichotomy.

>loves freedom and capitalism
>against drugs legalization
I don't understand this king of reasoning
