Modern liberals are about improving society: increasing access to healthcare, higher wages, eliminating bigotry, etc. Whatever best achieves that end is what liberals pursue.

Modern liberals draw on aspects of socialism but aren't necessarily pushing for the rigid anti-capitalist nature of socialism. Liberals want to take the best aspects of socialism and use it to improve society; they don't want to get rid of capitalism, merely regulate it in a way that doesn't take unfair advantage of workers.

So that's why you shouldn't confuse modern liberals with socialists, communists, etc. Liberalism is about what is best for the individual, not about adhering to a particular economic model or philosophy.

Liberalism
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support individual rights, democracy, secularism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and a market economy.Wikipedia

If you were 1/10 as well educated as you claim, you would already know the answer to this.

Ronald Reagan once said that if totalitarian government ever comes to America, it will come in the guise of liberalism.

You cloud your comments with comments like 'increasing access to healthcare' when in fact you should say "Provide free health care to every human in America no matter from whence they come or who they are". Which of these two statements is closer to what liberals want? This is a difficult question, given the mantra of liberals and socialists.
There are several inquiries made of me above, some ad hominem, which would require a lot of haranguing of me at the moment, but can we keep it simple with your response to this post?
Please zero-in on your stance here, socialism would provide free health care, and I am getting that liberals want that as well. If I am wrong, I will admit it.
By the way, yours is a very cogent post.

'From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs." He must have had a eureka moment to come up with that really concise phrase, so little which says so much.
Can you tell me what that means/meant, exactly? Maybe, having observed liberal dogma for some time, I don't know the answer....
I am thinking that you will not be able to separate that dictum of Marx from the principles of liberalism.

The U.S. already provides free healthcare for some citizens in the form of Medicaid, which has been around since the 60's.

If there's a practical way to provide free healthcare, of course liberals would want it for all citizens.

Here is a foreigner from Romania. Socialist country until 1989. Only 30 years ago. He is weighing in on Reagan, the greatest conservative republican of all time.
Zahlanzi, why don't you entertain us free Americans with some of your thoughts on how life should be, open a thread of your own and expound!!! All we will have to do is read in amazement. 😲 😳 😲
