    Liberalism has been highjacked by conservatism and is actually a left leaning ideology

    ‘In most countries, classical liberalism is thought of as a right-wing ideology, but when classical liberal ideas made their debut, they were thought of as leftist.’

      Liberalism was never highjacked, it was only “leftist” when monarchism was the standard. Liberalism is the standard now.
