Liberal never meant leftist, as a simple fact liberalism refers to the center right ideology that asposes capitalist “democracy”. Furthermore liberals will occasionally pretend to be progressive on social issues but without economic liberation social liberation is fundementally not possible.
The fuck are you on about? On the traditional left-right axis liberals are placed in the center, though that is a simplification. The ideals align with plenty of leftists but the economy is waaay right.
Just because yanks don’t know anything left of their centre-right democratic party doesn’t mean that liberalism is suddenly leftist…
Edit: sorry, should have read closer. You aren’t american but are accusing Americans of changing the meaning, whilst spouting the american usage of the word? It doesn’t make sense. Why accuse Americans of changing the meaning of the word liberal when you are clearly using the american meaning in the previous sentence?
Liberal is leftist. Stop changing the meaning of words willy nilly, America.

Not in my country, liberals are either centre or right over here. Socialists tend to be the left.
You ask a lot from the Americans, my friend.
