This discusses the political liberal parties in a US/british context.
The liberal parties do not hold the beliefs as defined below.
Which of these are not leftist ideals?

- Open to new ideas
- Tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others
- Not bound by traditional thinking
What you are describing is progressivism, which is a rather broad umbrella encompassing both leftism and liberalism. Since it’s apparently my job to explain this to you, leftists think the rich should pay their fair share whereas liberals are pretty fond of billionaires all things considered.
