Liberalism is a conservative ideology, yes. It’s the ideology of capitalism and western imperialism.
Leftism is the political realm of anti-capitalists. In a political dichotomy, liberalism stands on the right with other capitalist ideologies. Leftists stand opposed to them both. Liberalism is the ideology of billionaires, of strike breaking, of economic prosperity for the wealthy being the measuring stick of how successful a society is.
You’re arguing that liberalism isn’t to the left of conservatism. It’s been fun. Thanks for the laughs. :)

Here are the definitions I’m using:
Dunn, John (1993), Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future, Cambridge University Press:
Iain McLean and Alistair McMillan (2009), Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics:
Where are you getting your definitions from? I feel like you’re just making them up.
What absurdly hollow and self serving definitions. You might as well say “liberalism is defined as being good”
I mean, Love Me, I’m a Liberal
