The world of a hundred years ago. Where I live, the liberal parties mostly want to create more freedom for companies to fuck people over.

Yep, pretty much. Liberalism serves the interests of Capital over people.

Liberals Left, Republicans Right, is the dichotomy of the US at least.

US liberals and US conservatives both share the core ideals of Liberalism, including the right to private property

They differ only in where they think individual liberty ends.

Overton Window, maybe, but that’s not a particularly useful categorization. Parties represent relatively fixed views, not directions.

In the US it’s a spectrum combining party policy and Overton Window. As you move left, you go deeper and deeper into increasingly extreme thoughts on policy regarding what we consider classic liberal topics such as social justice, corporate power, various societal and economic reforms, etc till it hits an extreme that’s considered radical to the average, the same goes for the right and classic conservative views.

Hugging the middle/mixed gray zone are the Centrist.

Liberal in the US means progressive. It’s a term referring to social issues, not economic ones.

Liberal in the USA means Liberal economically, it’s just that economic Liberalism is more progressive than the alternstive, far-right populism.
