it's particularly confusing for me because in dutch, "liberal" is still only used in the classical sense (i.e. economic liberalism). the word "leftists" can mean social democrats, socialists, communists. but never liberals.

That's a much better usage. The US liberal/conservative thing is super arbitrary and confusing. Really, one of the worst things about the US political system is that it's imposed a left/right axis on our language to the extent that people have trouble even imagining a reality beyond that described by the axis.
