    Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, [consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.

    Wikipedia agrees with me

      It’s a United States thing. They use the term liberal to refer to social liberalism whereas you’re referring to neoliberalism.

      Edit: On second glance, your Wikipedia link is to straight liberalism, which includes things the Republican party doesn’t support, like secularism. So who knows.

        Yeah, saw that, too. They are still liberals (as in: support neoliberal policies), but with christo-fascist tendencies. The article states that these points are contended right dow, though.
