        Their political alignment: Classical liberalism, social liberalism, economic liberalism & radical centrism. I know, it's just from wikipedia, but this is right though!

        Yes? This is like saying social democrats and national socialists are all the same.

        Politicians that got their support of the Economist: Reagan, Thatcher, Bob Dole (conservatives), and Clinton, Tony Blair + Obama (pretty much centrists). Even Ken Livingstone and Harold Wilson (Labour) got their support.

        Thing is: you're not wrong at all. The Economist is kinda conservative, but not straight up - they support more the established politicians from the center. I would call them center right.

        Yes, they are historically center-right, which is conservative in my book. Tldr: nit picking political labels is a fools errand. "Liberal" can be used for everyone from Von Mises to Bernie Sanders.

        Yes, that's true. There's a lot of confusion about the meaning of the word, since it had more and more a different point of view as time passed.

        Which is especially ironic seeing as how they claim to be more interested in social issues than economics.

        To be fair, are we calling The Economist representative of "liberals"

        And this is why I hate liberals! Embarrassing shit like that reminds me of times where they said the same about Hitler or Mussolini - dangerous people, with good ideas. Same game today, but modernized.

        I really wish this would end. If you dig deep enough, you'll find that anyone has at least one good idea. No need to give them a boost. Neoliberals, progressives, etc. shouldn't fight each other

        That depends on what you mean by neoliberal. But that's what im saying - neoliberals *shouldn't* enable the far right.

        Yes, it is. You have to divest yourself from the American definition of liberalism and apply the traditional, economic definition.

        Jacobin exists in the (North) American political space and Luke (a Canadian?) is engaging in a conversation that exists within that space, using terms as defined here. There is no point in the second meme if it's about free-market absolutists, only if it's about the center left.

        So, yes, the Economist might argue that within their understanding of the term they're "liberals". But that's not how Luke was using the term. What's more, I'm pretty sure you know that.
