> liberal (as in right-wing)

What the hell? These terms are in no way synonyms.

You seem to be fairly extreme left, which is fine, but then labelling everyone to the right of you as "right-wing" is not a useful classification. "Left" and "right" are relative to the political centre, not to wherever you yourself happen to be.

Please consider the possibility that GP is from a different country than you are and that liberal may mean something different there. For example in Sweden, the Liberals are a party that "historically was positioned in the centre" but has since "positioned itself more towards the right". [0]

Even so, left-right and liberal-authoritarian are orthogonal axes.

Liberals in Europe in general are more right wing. Conservatives like big handouts like your liberals in America to stay in power.
