Liberalism and left wing aren’t the same thing, it’s not conservatism either.

Take Milton Friedman for example. Right wing right? No, liberal. He believed in free markets and the power of free enterprise, but he also believed unions were important as an expression of individual freedom of association. He even advocated a negative income tax for low earners so he was a redistributionist.

I still think that would be far better than a basic income, but I digress.
