That's interesting because I certainly wouldn't interpret very liberal as classic liberal anymore but maybe others did.
Liberal is a really poor term for modern Progressives. I also rarely here progressives use the term anymore. At least not in the way conservatives use it.
They might say liberal world order but that's different from liberal polices on moral topics. Different again from welfare programs and efforts to level playing fields.
The modern landscape of politics is very inconsistent logically and I have seen this when young people try to understand the terms and where people stand.

I've never seen anyone make a radial plot of political sentiments, similar to the moral foundations plot above, but I think it could be useful. The distance from the center could indicate amount of government control and the different directions could be areas of government control.
An anarchist would just be a dot at the center, then, while each variety of statist would be a different shape, with totalitarians being the full circle.

I know it's not what they meant, but I default to extreme literalism when I'm not given good options.
