Not really. Ever seen a "liberal" liberate or a "conservative" conserve?

The term got its current usage when FDR came in because at that time it was a matter of "burn it all down" (real socialism) vs "fix the private property system around the margins".

I think by liberal he meant the Edwardian liberal. It's the predominant meaning of that label in the US
