In the context of a political discussion in the US, without a direct statement otherwise, or strong context to suggest your talking about some other group, conservative refers either to the American conservative movement, or to related older ideas (some of which by those who would call themselves liberal). Conservative also means "reluctant to change or take risks". Communists in the Soviet Union (at least before its collapse) could be considered "conservative" by that definition, but so would liberals/progressive who fight against entitlement reform, school competition, etc. The two definitions are different concepts (of course you can be conservative by both definitions, but you can be either one without being the other).
