    From what I know, liberal in other parts of the world often means market liberal, not social liberal

      I’ll have to look up what a social liberal means. If I’m not mistaken, upholding the institution of capital is universally a liberal value.

      That alone would make them some flavor of rightwing in my mind.

        That might be, but as an example from Germany, the FDP are referred to as liberal, even though they are against pretty much everything that American liberals stand for.

        Their main focus is creating a free market and propagation of unfettered capitalism.

        From the Wikipedia page, it’s reads as the middle ground between socialist and market liberal ideas.
