I really don’t. You could be a conservative or a socialist ranting about “liberals” and those would be two very different groups of people. If you’re using it in the way a tankie would, then it’s literally anyone who isn’t a tankie. It’s a very overloaded term.
Even the most radical of the liberal thoughts in the world do not dare to think to address the fundamental issues with the socioeconomic system
That’s probably because they disagree with you on what the fundamental issues are, and what “ideal” looks like. Liberalism embraces inequality, preferring instead to focus on expanding opportunity. If your idea of the fundamental issue is inequality, of course you’ll find them unsatisfying.
There are a lot of interesting ideas within liberalism, but you need to be on board with the fundamental assumption that inequality is okay and even desirable.
