    The word “liberalism” in Europe is generally used to refer to economic liberalism, not social progressivism.

      Yeah exactly. Liberals here are right wing capitalists. And often conservative.

      They are kinda the same as the liberals in the US but that’s because US doesn’t really know any real left wing. So it’s right wing democrats or extreme-right republicans.

      That makes liberalism seem somehow progressive but it isn’t really.
