    What would be considered "classic liberalism" is best represented by the Libertarians..modern "Liberal" Democrats are more like Authoritarian Socialists.

    the original french anarcho-communist libertarians or the freemarket-worshipping americans who stole the name?

    the latter can be called "neoliberals"
