You can't be far left and liberal at the same time. Liberals support the continuation of capitalism, even if they want more welfare measures and social services, while the far left want its total elimination.

That doesn't change the fact that there are far leftists who claim they espouse liberal values.

Then they either don't know what liberalism is, or what the far left is. I think the confusion arises because communists/anarchists/socialists are so far out of mainstream discourse that most people have a narrow view of the spectrum, so they just count social democrats as the far left.
