I think the best way to put it is that a leftist is someone who believes that workers should own the wealth that they create, while a liberal is someone believes in “socially progressive causes” without examining the underlying systems that bring about the necessity of “socially progressive causes”.
For example, a liberal would want more woman CEOs, while a leftist would want to get rid of CEOs.
I don’t understand the difference and I don’t think I ever will

Slight addendum: liberals fight against any real progress until it’s inevitable and then take credit
