    “Liberal” has a very different connotation in the context of US politics than it does pretty much anywhere else.

    I agree that that’s confusing and dumb. But this is America, so “confusing and dumb” is very often par for the course.

      Social Democrats are liberals that support universal healthcare, as a tax supported welfare program.

      Socialism is the workers owning the means of production. Welfare programs are just how that has to work if the actual owner of the means is the state.
