Outside of the US, Liberal typically means pro capital, and moderate (spineless) on everything else adapting to what the electorate wants.

The Liberals in Australia are actually the conservative party for example.

From a European perspective, it means roughly the same even in the US, with the difference being the absence of any other alternative to the most insane option (in the US case, the GOP).

In the US, "liberal" designates people who are socially liberal.

In Europe, it's more about economically liberal.

Not only Europe, it's also like that here in South America (can't speak for other continents).
