That alone would make them some flavor of rightwing in my mind. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Akagigahara@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Oh right, like the article says it's Keynesian liberalism.
