I think “liberals are left” is a specifically Western thing and it’s due to the utterly cooked Overton window, and deliberste obfuscation by media.

Right parties everywhere are always called “the liberal party” (Australia, Japan, etc). It’s just the US has two of them.
A really simple way to explain it to US liberals, is that that liberalism simplified just means individualism / upholding the primacy of individual freedom over community betterment.
