What we call liberals in the US, meaning the US opposite of conservatives. It has nothing to do with Classic or Neoliberalism. I described it briefly earlier. US liberals are pro-union, want socialized healthcare, oppose foreign wars, want to reduce military spending, are pro-environment, favor restrictions on polluting industries, freedom from religion in government, prefer public services to privatized for-profit, support pro-consumer regulations on industries, would like wealthy people to pay fair taxes and support racial and LGBT social equality. These are all things that conservatives in the US disagree with.
Left Liberalism or Social Liberalism. Call it whatever you want, but to an actual leftist (Marxist socialist), it’s all liberalism. To them, if it doesn’t get rid of private property that reinforces wealth inequality through social hierarchy, it’s part of the problem.
Cool viewpoint, I never heard that before! That’s great, have fun on Hexbear and lemmygrad or whatever, but this awful meme is ambiguous, difficult to interpret and incorrect from a US standpoint.
Dude. That’s talking about Classical/Neo Liberalism. Not American Liberalism.
What is American Liberalism?

I didn’t mean to offend. Just trying to give you a perspective from those on the far left. Give actual libertarianism a look. You might be surprised.
I’ve decided I don’t care about any political group that insists anyone outside of it is equally bad.
