Liberal is nothing like libertarian except they are both capitalist (ignoring that libertarian and anarchist were synonymous). Liberal refers to social spending to prevent people from complaining about the inequality of capital ownership while conservative means winner-take all with little to no bread and circuses and a hierarchical worldview.
I saw another of your comments was talking about jelly using the American meaning, so I will assume you are from the Americas. When I was talking about the meaning of "liberal" in the rest of the English speaking world, I was not referring to the Americas or the Western hemisphere, which is the area you seem to be familiar with.
Can you please name some of these non American non western hemisphere English speaking countries where liberal means libertarian/conservative?
