Hehehe so you are annoyed that classical liberals get mixed up with social liberals ;-)

Well there is some common ground though. I mean both classical liberals and social liberals are focused on individual rights, democracy and free speech.

But social liberals are of course willing to regulate markets more to moderate the adverse effects of free markets in a minimalist state. Classical liberalism seems to be mostly gone as a political force. People gravitate towards social liberals, conservatives or right-wing populism instead.

But I think I would have preferred classical liberals over conservatives as a major political movement.
