The division of political ideologies into left and right derives from the French Parliament which had the monarchists on the right and the liberals on the left.

Every reference to right and left stems from this so yes in fact Liberalism has always been where the left starts even if liberals are nit leftists because the political left is anti-authoritarian.

The binary has not changed and I promise you any claim ypu make to the contrary is going to be mired in euro-centric beliefs.

I always try to tell the Marxists this, but they always come up with some dumb rebuttal.
