liberalism essentially means liberty; a belief that freedom should be allowed and the government should not intefere with market forces or the fundamental rights of the people. Liberalism means the freedom to compete and to rise up in status. Socialism, is the precursor to communism. It is opposed to liberalism because it favours government interference and control to ensure equality for all. Liberalism focuses on the individual, yet socialism focuses on the collective.
