Or at all

Socialism is defined by opposition to capitalism, if you don't support eventually moving beyond Capitalism, you're definitionally a liberal.

A socialist does support moves beyond capitalism, but in a representative democracy they wouldn't have the power to do that outright. So it goes in small steps, starting with checks and regulations to prevent capitalism from going rampant (like it is in the US).

You're not wrong but some render their opposition to capitalism by reducing the scope of the capitalist system. Something liberals tend not to do. Are all reformists committed to bringing it down to zero? Maybe, maybe not. I probably wouldn't call a self-proclaimed socislist who spends their life reducing the capitalist part of their state a lib if they are okay with say 10% of the economy remaining capitalist.
