    The division of political ideologies into left and right derives from the French Parliament which had the monarchists on the right and the liberals on the left.

    Every reference to right and left stems from this so yes in fact Liberalism has always been where the left starts even if liberals are nit leftists because the political left is anti-authoritarian.

    The binary has not changed and I promise you any claim ypu make to the contrary is going to be mired in euro-centric beliefs.

    No they are not unless if they are conservative Liberals. A conservative Maoist and a conservative libertarian have very different ideologies despite being conservative within their own binaries. This is due to the fact that conservatism is a position in a binary and is not an ideology.

    You can be a conservative and be illiberal.
