Yea...

Its really difficult when a communism means two things and both meanings are regularly used in the same context (e.g. a comment), and why the fact that there is at least a distinction between liberalism and capitalism is nice (even if some dont know what liberalism means)

Yep, it stems more from Communism emerging as a prediction for a future society, whereas Liberalism was a post-hoc justification for a society that was already rising.
