I consider myself a Liberal economically and a center-rightist culturally. I'd argue Liberalism is along the same lines, whereas, to me, American Leftism is basically the Bernie Sanders people, SJW's, radical feminists and cultural censorship-supporters.

So 'Liberalism' in America in your view is the polar opposite of what it is outside of America - to be a liberal in Europe for instance is to be culturally and economically liberal (as in pro-free market).

Nah, it would be ridiculous to describe (for example) the Socialist Worker's Party as 'liberal'. I think Al once said that liberalism in the USA means 'whatever happens to be supported by the Democratic Party'. I tend to agree with that.
