I think the best phrase I've heard describe the left accurately is "The left is not Liberal. They're Progressive. And Progressivism and Liberalism are two separate concepts." In fact much of the left's attitude and behavior is in opposed to Liberalism.
I would argue the Left in General has never been liberal and have only hijacked the word. They've convinced Liberals to side with them by distorting the very concept of Liberalism, so now we have what is called Left Wing Liberalism (Which is just progressivism and has little if anything to do with Liberalism) and Right Wing Liberalism, also known as Classic Liberalism, why is it Classic? Because it's the original Liberalism, before the Left hijacked the term and tried to create their pseudo Liberalism that isn't Liberalism.
Look up Economic Liberalism, which is the correct term for Capitalism for example, and economic liberalism requires a liberal society to work or function. So if you're living in a society where you're allowed to own private property, build your own business. Run a bakery or a bar, etc etc, not own by a king, noble or the state. You're already living in a Liberal society and you just don't know it as you've been warped in a way that you don't know it.
It's why the Political chart is more accurately presented as "Collectivism vs Individualism" and "Equality vs Liberty." Liberty ie Liberal, ie Liberalism/Libertarianism. The fact that right fights for individual rights, means the right fights for individual liberty, which ironically means the RIGHT are the true Liberals. To be conservative in a already Liberal Society is to be Liberal. Conservatism just means defending or upholding the status quo and if your society is already a liberal society then Conservatives are the Liberals.
This is why I think anyone who is on the right who calls themselves Conservative are "dumb" and do not understand what conservatism even is. As conservatism can literally mean totally different things counting on what part of the world you live in. So conservatism as a definition is fluid and doesn't really stand for anything.
I honestly think people prefer this confusion as well. If you have people on both sides of the political chart who don't know what liberalism or conservatism is, or what Left or Right even are, you end up with a giant Cluster F*** of confused, stupid, and ignorant people who can be dragged around on a leash and controlled.
There are a few videos by a youtuber called TIKhistory which I highly recommend.
Public vs Private | The Historic Definitions of Socialism & Capitalism (He made this video because people don't understand the difference between the Public and Private Sector)
Hitler's Socialism | Destroying the Denialist Counter Arguments (goes into insane depth on the NS's political and economic beliefs)
Operation Keelhaul (3 video series, of a allied war crime which the US/UK government worked with the Soviets)
The Revolution guaranteed inflation - BankWars: Weimar Hyperinflation Episode 2 (Good for understanding the early split in the Socialist movement in the 1920s)
So, Hitler was a Communist in early 1919 (Reinforces the video above)
Karl Marx's Antisem**ism (Ya Anti Capitalism is Anti Sem**ism)
Fascism Defined (He actually presents the actual definition of Fascism from the Fascist themselves)
You will quickly realize how much of history has been distorted by Public Officials and Academics. When you understand these distortions and the tactics used it's far easier to see it happening again today.
