In America, the term Conservative and Liberal are political push-button names that dont mean exactly what they should.
The free market is liberal, no gun control is liberal, and so forth. I'm sure you've heard the term liberal economies, which means right-wing free markets. Likewise, a controlled market and gun control is a authoritarion/conservative standpoint.
Essentially, both liberals and conservative have characteristics of each other but arrive at different conclusions for where people should have freedoms and where they shouldnt. It seems like conservatives want a liberal economy and a authoritarian society while liberals want an authoritarian economy and a liberal society. I guess everyone wants some freedom and some control in their lives.
