I understand the difference between right and left wing, i.e capitalism v.s communism.

However, we don't really have liberal vs conservative over here. Could someone explain what it is about? I get the impression that it is related to left & right, but not really the same.

I would feel very strongly that people deserve complete freedom (liberty), and that they should be able to make up their own mind about what they do with their life. People should be allowed to whatever they want, assuming that it doesn't hurt others. It is not up to morality police to tell me what I can and can't do with my life. For this reason I am all for the legalisation of marajuana amd prostitution etc, despite having no personal interest in them. Does this make me a liberal? Or am I taking the term too literally?
