    In European politics.

    American liberals do not support free markets. They’re advocates of greater regulation amd stronger unions.

      yes, they do. Both* US political parties are neoliberal parties. Regulation of markets is still a free market. Unions do not inherently oppose free markets either.

      * must go back at least 10 years for this to be true for Republicans
