Americans, explain to me why are left-wing people called liberals when they are against free market? Is the "liberal" term applied only for customs and not for economic freedom?

Because in the rest of the world is backwards, liberals are usually said of economically liberal fellows.

Also, why the fuck is the left party blue and the right party blue? Get with the program, America.

Yeah, it's definitely a misnomer. They like to frame themselves as liberators, when in reality they are totalitarians. They think because they champion fag rights, it somehow negates the rest of the shit they do.

Do you guys have a third party that is liberal in customs and economically? Not really a libertarian party, but a true liberal one.

The word has no real literal meaning anymore when it's used in the context of left wing vs. right wing. If you identify as a liberal in America in 2018 there's a good chance you are actually an anti-free speech fascist.

Federalist would be a more accurate term.

A third party that actually means anything? No.

And republicans, being socialists, didnt celebrate that now there was another left wing party?

Or is it because Marx hated niggers and socialists back then knew that?

But wasnt Lincoln that freed the slaves a republican? This makes no sense, son.

The “liberal” term refers to being liberal with restrictions on government intervention. Conservatives traditionally wanted less government intervention and to have things handled mostly at state level and private sector.

Republicans weren't socialist, they were simply further left economically than democrats. Democrats then went even further left than the republicans were while the republican position didn't really move for a while though its gravitated further right since just out of a lack of other places for right-wing people to go.
