To be clear I think using "liberal" to mean "socialist" is just as stupid as using it to mean "economically neo-liberal". Most dictionary definitions concentrate on the actual definition of the word in everyday usage and then also mention the political theory definitions. Choosing your insult to be a word that most people assume means something else is a terrible way to communicate.

You're not wrong, communists do have issues with effective communication. It's not trivial due to definitions and framing propagated by liberal institutions being designed, sometimes intentionally, to make it more difficult to communicate our ideas.
