The dictionary defines it as:
willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.
relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.
Where the hell does your definition come from?

So not true liberalism, but "neo-liberalism." Much like how the Nazi party was "socialist."
Neoliberalism is just how social studies people call contemporary liberalism.
In politics and economics, this is what most people will understand as “liberal”. Not just some vague references to liberty like the dictionary meaning, neither classical liberalism from the 1850’s.
