Liberalism means one thing among people who call themselves liberals and something entirely different to people who call themselves libertarians.
There are differences between self-identified liberals and libertarians in their conception of liberalism in America, but they have a lot in common also, such as the idea of the Constitution guaranteeing the fundamental rights and liberties inalienable even if they go against the majority rule, the idea of checks and balances, especially an independent judiciary checking the majority rule, and so on -- all ideas that the Marxist tradition has not theoretically or practically embraced, though many Marxists have adopted them tacitly. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
