I've grown up in the same educational situation, and this is exactly what I've experienced. Their attempted indoctrination turned me into a liberal, antichristian agnostic. But with mental health issues, because emotional abuse is better than "letting your kid go to hell"...
Unless you're talking to an American and making an incorrect assumption about what they mean by "liberal".
When one person uses a word with an unusual meaning, they're just wrong. When a whole country does it it's a difference of dialect. Are you gonna try to argue that American English is wrong?
That's a bad analogy.
Ditto for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK; aka North Korea). People often intentionally misuse words to obfuscate their true intentions, particularly those with an authoritarian or fascist slant.
Liberals are what socialists become when they grow up.
