Liberalism or leftism? A lot of the modern trends you see from the left actually feel very illiberal.

Vox is most certainly a liberal outpost. You're correct that many elements of the left reject liberalism, which is why Vox et al. are center-left liberal rags and not "leftist."

Leftist ideology is not mutually inclusive of liberalism (in the philosophical sense) but that's true of most ideologies. Heck, mix nationalism (extreme patriotism) with socialism (illiberal leftist ideology) and you can get national socialism (far-right Nazism).

The claim that nationalism socialism is a type of socialism is dubious. Names are tricky like that. http://www.politicususa.com/2012/09/12/hitler-explains-gop-w...
