Yes but can include alot of socialism/social components. It is a very broad term in the US. It is more left than center but not far left. Strong social support but more fiscally central.
Socialism is not “social components” though. As clearly defined by the separation between social democrats (capitalism supporters but large welfare net) and democratic socialists (anticapitalists who believe reform is helpful but will not save us from capitalism, only bringing down the system will).

Nah, even in America, liberalism is defined by still being capitalist.

Liberalism is still tied to the belief in free market because that’s how the philosophy started.
