I had a general sense that 'conservative' is to 'libertarian' as 'liberal' is to 'communist', while my intuition said that 'socialist' is much closer/already overlaping with 'liberal' too much. Idk tho this is all just feeling I'm not gonna die on this hill

Technically, communism is beyond socialism, and is Maslow's self-transcendent peak stages, while socialism is more about the lower level, "deficiency needs". Socialism is risk-aversion, fear-based, while communism, as Marx and Engels envisioned it, is creative, novelty-seeking.

Communism is how our animal bodies work, with each individual being free to do what it loves, and being supported by the system in doing that work well, though decentralized, chaotic, instinct, rather than centralized authority (democracy/totalitarian control).
