I’ll let you Google the definitions of things like liberal, neo-liberal, conservatism, etc. to boil it it down, they are mostly considered “right” ideologies based on capitalism and aren’t that far apart in a global context.
In American lexicon, yes liberal is left and conservative is right.
Edit: there are conservatives here. Not a lot but they have their own spaces.
While both may be to the left of the political spectrum, liberals want to see the continuation of capitalism or at least are comfortable existing within it. Leftists generally veer towards a fundamental shift away from and the deconstruction of current systems of capital.
Caveat emptor and all that since these are huge generalizations.
