Boil down, and 'Liberty' can be reduced to
a. Private Propery
b. Freedom of speech
Both are anathema to Progressives, Liberals, Democrasts.
1. Some know that before it became “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in our Declaration of Independence,John Locke wrote that man has a right to “life, liberty, and property.”

2. " Karl Marx describes in his communist manifesto, the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of omnipotent government power, so as to effect a communist socialist state. Those ten steps are known as theTen Planksof The Communist Manifesto…
a. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
b. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
c. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State."

3. Without admitting obeisance to Marx, this government obviates the 'private' part via taxation and regulation.

4. In order to muzzle dissent, the radicals, early on, took aim at the media, and at academia. But controlling these outlets of information was not enough.
Silencing opposition voices, as any fascist program would do, became the corollary.
a. "....attempts to shut down people whose free speech interferes with other people's political agendas go on, with remarkably little notice, much less outrage. The Internal Revenue Service's targeting the tax-exempt status of conservative groups is just one of these attempts to fight political battles by shutting up the opposition, rather than answering them."
