>>5224707it can be either left or right, but is usually pretty centrist.
When we say "right" or "left" we usually are talking about social politics, and liberalism is only about the economics.
However, it's not compatible with the "extreme" sides (both right and left) of the political spectrum because those sides are usually protectionnists, which means they are against globalization (i don't know what this term means exactly in english, but here in France it means that all the countries get an uniformisation of both their culture, laws and politics. We call it "Americanisation" here too).
Our next government, even if they called themselves "socialists", were actually liberal left. Socially tending to left ideas, they still worked for the economic liberalism. The government we have is no longer left like the old one, it's only intense liberalism
However, to answer you question, I would tend to say that the liberalism is more right political, since in its ideas, you make the markets free of any law and they are supposed to "regulate themselves".
Which means the markets basically rules everything else. Even if you consider that it wouldn't cause social problems, the workers' labor forces still get alienated, which is genuinely right-side, but this part is mostly my point of view
Sorry again for talking about politics on /bant/, but it's not like /pol/ is a good place to do it anyways o/
