minus-squareSpookyBogMonster@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year ago Liberal in the rest of the world is more aligned to socialism I agree that US political vocabulary is weird. But this characterization just isn’t true at all. For example, in Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party is ideologically conservative. Same story with the Australian Liberal Party. Whereas Liberalism in the US is associated with the left of the Overton Window.
