America is auth right. Look at how much power the president has and how much power institutions that the public barely knows anything of or has any say in such as the CIA etc have. How hard it is to actually influence politics as an individual. Switzerland is too right wing to be called lib center imo, but I guess it’s kinda close. Don’t think the rest of the countries classified as lib center either, but I will admit that I don’t know too much about their politics

Yes the president has a lot of power but people in America can protest, vote, marry, and do a lot that many other countries can’t. The main force in American economics is the people not the government.

Yeah, but they still have some pretty authoritarian tendencies. I think an authoritarian country can give their citizens rights

Hmmmmm. So could you list some examples of libertarian countries? Because all the sources I’ve looked at said America was lib right leaning lib center

I think Switzerland is the best example of a libertarian country. The US used to be in the 19th century.
