    No they’re not, I hate to break it to you but most conservatives are liberals. What you’re referring to is liberals picking up on social policies championed by the left.

      Yes they are. A Liberal for most political subgroups in liberalism are left of center with the odd leaning center right. Liberalism values mostly are left of center values.

            Ok so based on that you should realise that every political party follows liberal economics. Hell even most conservative parties in the west pretend to stand up for liberal rights.

                Yes almost every political party believes in the right of private property and market economics.

                  Right, I haven’t said otherwise. But political alignment is more than just economics. Economics is part but not the whole

                    Economics is at the base of the political super structure.

                    Edit: I suggest you read this: https://archive.org/details/ComManifesto/page/n3/mode/1up

                    The whole split between liberals and socialists was based entirely on economics. There is a reason why Karl Marx wrote a whole book on economics.
