Note: liberalism is about liberties: freedoms. But, while US liberalism focuses on creating equal opportunities to enjoy freedoms, with Big Government intervention if necessary; not so in the rest of the world. In fact, many liberals in the world today focus on the same modern free-market fundamentalism that is expoused by US liberal-haters. From Buenos Aires to Stockholm, this market-fundie form of liberalism is often called "neoliberalism".
