Liberalism and liberal ideology has been the only ‘valid’ ideology for states for 2 centuries.
It is conservative to defend liberalism. It’s conservative to defend neoliberalism.
In order to be ‘progressive’ you have to at least be a ‘radical’ socialist that wants the abolition of capitalism.

I’m correcting your point. Yes, a lot of the US is conservative. Most of the world isn’t. Only a US-Centric viewpoint would define liberalism as anything other than a conservative old-fashioned ideology only held by people that worship nazis.

You’re a shining star absolutely perfecting the point I made. Thank you for enforcing the facts I stated.

Actually I was exclusively talking about China and SEA, not Europe. While there are a couple of European countries that are aiming towards socialism most of Europe is pretty far right.
