Sure, there are always outliers and you can correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s just the overall impression I have.

I agree with all of this. However, and I could be wrong, my understanding of classic liberalism is that it was never directly opposed to regulation or social services. My initial understanding is that it’s by necessity tied to free markets and private property.
But if it is then I’m learning something new.
Maybe not, but nowadays, most are. And you are correct, they believe in free markets and private property, with little regulation.
Yea you know what: I stand corrected. Classic liberalism is closely aligned with conservatism in the sense that it is shuttered from regulation. My mind is on the social liberal aspect.
