    College communists will absolutely label the entire democratic party right wing, and will call liberalism a fundamentally conservative philosophy.

    I mean. I’m no college communist. But neither of those assertions are particularly out there?

    When compared with parties in other democracies, the Democrats are pretty right-wing on many issues. And it’s not strange to refer to liberalism as a conservative philosophy, it tends to place emphasis on private property, free-market economics, and capitalism. There are places where the conservative party are “The Liberals”.
