      No? But you probably think Trump is since you’re comparing liberals and leftists.

          It’s nuts to me that “everyone should have access to housing, food, healthcare, and education” is somehow a radical take. It’s literally nothing but beneficial to society at large.

          Liberals are the opposite of authoritarians, they aren’t left or right but a description of people’s view towards government regardless of political leanings.

          Communists, Anarchists, Libertarians are all examples of liberals.

          Trump is an authoritarian which aligns with your stated view of leftists not being liberal (being authoritarians)

            Those are not liberals.

            Liberalism is free trade, it’s private ownership of property - both right wing. At the tail end of liberalism is a little bit of social freedom which is somewhat left, once you remove all the qualifiers Libs put on welfare.
