So not what most people think of as "liberals" then.

Neoliberals are to liberals what National Socialists are to Socialists.

Take it back to the dictionary definition.

Liberal (noun)

a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.

a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Going by the first definition, that's left. Even going by that second definition, I see three left policies and a right. That's essentially a lefty being not left enough.

Case #363784589 of the most common feature of a liberal being not knowing what liberalism is.

It's not really your fault, it's entirely by design from the kind of people who hate both liberals and socialists.
