Liberalism= progressivism
An understanding that with changing society and changing methods that there also has to be a change in the way government operates. One of the strongest beleifs of progressives is that it is governments job to level the playing field, to protect the many from being dominated by the few. With this, their is the problem that the rights of the few will be violated to save the rights of the many. This is also part of Democacy, and the cornerstone of the US.
Socialism:
socialism has both conservative and progressive factions. What many do not understand is that socialism is not counter to conservativism, it is counter to capitalism. In a true socialist state, anything beyond the imediate needs of an individual (ie; house, car, clothing, family, family business) belongs to everyone. This being the natural resources of the nation, and the means of production belong to the people, not 1 individual! Thereby a factory that employs 1000 people would not be owned by 1 man, but by everyone-each of those workers has a stake in the company, and a voice in what happens! This sounds like what Wal-mart was trying to sell as its emploee policy, with each employee being a share holder. But unfortunately, as typical in capitalism, 1 man or family at the top, hold all the control, and reaps all the rewards/ while those doing the actual work scrabble for scraps.

Capitalism is essentially the private ownership of the means of production. Basically a person or corporation owns the factories and mines and buys labor from people to work these. Socialism is when the means of production, instead of being in the hands of a single person or corporation, would be controlled by the working class itself. For example all miners, through democracy, would control the entire mining industry. Communism is the end phase of socialism where social classes, money, and even the state have been eliminated and cooperation is valued over competition. Communism is a very anti-state ideology. Fascism is the antithesis of this. Fascists believe that the state should hold total control and only through government control, could a country gain independence and supremacy. Fascists believe social classes are necessary and tend to be very towards minorities. Socialism and communism are both left wing ideologies, while fascism tends to steer more to the right wing.

Socialism is a farther extension of liberalism. Both advocate government control. Socialism does not believe in any property rights.
