Nope. Different as salt and sugar. Leftists despise liberals, just ask them.

They really aren't, any more than Democrats are the only Americans that believe in democracy.

Liberal =/= Left

There was a time where the left was MORE liberal than the right which was comparatively conservative.

But neither title has been particularly accurate since at least 2016, but arguably the switch started in the 90s.

Libertarians are probably the most liberal party today, but even they don't accurately represent it.

You cannot be anti-capitalist or anti-free speech and accurately call yourself liberal. If you refer to the modern left as liberal, congratulations you are perpetuating the left's favorite tool these days, which is dictating changes to language and the definitions of words. Stop it.
