    Liberal = Liberal, yes.

    Liberalism is the dominant ideology of Capitalism, Capitalism the the dominant economic structure.

        I’m not “pushing” anything. Liberals are Liberals, pretending Liberals aren’t Liberals is goofy.

          Why do you care if the US uses the term “liberal” differently?

            Because the US doesn’t use the term differently, US Liberals view themselves differently.

              Okay, so you’re saying that liberal politicians use the term differently, but they’re wrong, because “the US” doesn’t use the term differently? You’re claiming that everyday Americans say “liberal” and are referring to the economic sense of the word?

                No, I’m saying liberal politicians use the word correctly but view themselves as progressive, same with liberal citizenry. Nobody calls themselves a Liberal but is actually a Socialist or anything.
