Just to be extremely clear here, we’re not contrasting “liberal” and “conservative” as those two terms are defined in the american two-party electoral system. We’re contrasting “liberal”, that is, someone who supports capitalism, with “leftist”, that is, someone who thinks capitalism is bad and should go away already. We’re communists here, not republicans.
Yeah, its a common point of confusion that I honestly do wish we were a bit better at communicating. But on the other hand, its not really our fault that the American political language messed up the definition of the word. Like, in Australia the “Liberal Party” IS the more conservative party, essentially the Republican equivalent.

Thank you for clarifying, because I was confused as well.
