Liberal doesn't mean left wing, it means pro-capitalist, anti-communist. The US tolerates no public leftist presence.

    from what my sibling who did poli sci taught me, a lot of those stances are logical conclusions of the explicit property rights stances (liberal theory promotes personal, private and public property, whereas communism (if i understand it correctly and let me be clear i don't) does away with private property. i'm not well read enough on the subject to say specifically where or how).

    we really need different word in english for [member of the communist party] and [believer in/promoter of communism].

    For an even better analysis than you could ever get in a university class, I highly recommend reading Domenico Losurdo - Liberalism, a counter-history for a more detailed history of what liberalism is. Even from its very foundations and founding authors, it was white supremacist, pro-slavery, anti-worker, pro-colonialism, pro-workhouse and prison, etc.
