I'm pretty sure we're just the confused ones here. left, liberal, democrat, republican, right, libertarian, socialist, conservative.

Those words are giant tents. I have a book that argues that Hitler was a "liberal" and another that says free-market military-backed imperialism is "liberal democracy". I have another that argues the state-communism of China and the USSR are "conservative".

So I have no idea what people mean when they use those words.
