*sigh*

Modern usage and definitions

In Europe and Latin America, liberalism means a moderate form of classical liberalism and includes both conservative liberalism (centre-right liberalism) and social liberalism (centre-left liberalism).

In North America, liberalism almost exclusively refers to social liberalism.

In my country, the formerly centre-right, now just right "the market will take care of it" party calls itself liberal ever since the 50s.

And the North Korean Dictatorship calls itself the Democratic Peoples Republic, whats your point?
