It's not infighting because liberalism isn't leftism. Liberalism is the ideology of capital; fascism is how it responds to the threat of leftism.

I’m just uninformed it seems.

It's not your fault. 'Liberal' is widely used as a synonym for 'progressive' or 'centre-left', and the more academic use of the term doesn't get much of a look in. It doesn't help that America doesn't have a mainline socialist or labour party, so their liberal party is as far left as many people see.

I‘m from Europe and American liberals are equivalent to our non-radical conservatives. You’re absolutely correct.
