In Australia the "Liberals" are the centre right capitalist centric party. We do have better terms like social progressives, socialists and social-democrats, but even with this, it's all relative terms. Everyone's different in their own ways.

In America too; they just don't know they are until they meet an actual leftist, and even then most of them don't figure it out.

Do take note of the lowercase L in the term that I used. I am not referring to the name of any particular political party that happens to have the name "Liberal". I am specifically referring to "liberal" as in reference to the political science concept of "liberalism".

Wow if you read through that article liberalism suddenly makes a whole lot of sense
