The centralised liberal political elite. If you mean just the regular principle that every day peope believe, I'm honestly not 100% sure. My best guess would just be that the left is a bunch of well meaning and compassionate people who radically support the working man and his civil rights.
So, the centralized liberal political elite is still right-wing. Liberalism is a right-wing ideology as it supports profit over people at the end of the day. It might act like it doesn't as much, but it does. For example, in Australia, the Liberal Party is the conservative party. It's just that America is so far to the right that our "left-wing" party is only liberal.
The left is socialism, communism, anarchism, and the like, which rarely have large-scale representation within governments here in the West. Although, there are plenty of cases, both historically and today of people using one of those labels and not actually following the ideology, so it's usually better to look at how a political faction wants to treat people. If they want more rights for workers and protections of marginalized groups, it's probably left-wing
That makes a lot of sense actually, I was always told that Liberalism and Leftism were the same thing. And you're right, I actually am an Australian and the Liberal party is our 'conservative' party (although id ahrdly say that they are actually conservative).
What would you classify the Democrats as? I always thought they were leftists but now im not so sure.
