Everywhere you go, Marxists are already there waiting. The idea is immortal always waiting in the shadows of Capitalism, protected by liberalism.

“It is important for this country to make its people so obsessed with their own liberal individualism that they do not have time to think about a world larger than self.” ― bell hooks, Black Genius: African-American Solutions to African-American Problems

“Liberalism itself has failed, and for a pretty good reason. It has been too often compromised by the people who represented it.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail

“A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.”
― Robert Frost

I just listened to an accounting of the German debt problem. The average pay package is reduced from earnings, of (i make this up) 800.00 a week to a take home after taxes, and unemployment , about 400.00 a week. The burden of so many collecting money, who did not pay any thing into the tax pot, was pointed to as the problem. Instead, these people attack the only people who have anything. More Green wins in their politics, will only mean more expenses, without revenue. Germans have worked hard, and been productive. But like Sweden, they have decided to make problems for themselves, as they are so successful. If this is Liberal in Germany..... it is becoming a circular firing squad.

I remember years ago I read Bell Hooks where she said "The Black Woman does not have to worry about feminism as the Black Man is never around" or something to that effect.

I've heard about that... ’72 Percent’ Documentary on Fatherless Black Children

And feminist made sure if women do get pregnant but don't want the child, they can always kill it.

The HST quote has really aged well, coming as it did in 1972 after Nixon’s landslide re-election. The Frost quote seems almost prescient in view of the rise and spread of postmodernist relativism. But the Watkins (bell hooks) quote is the one that deserves and requires unpacking. First, the phrase “liberal individualism” is curious, and could be viewed as an oxymoron if the “liberal” part is defined as “progressive.” There’s nothing individualistic about the left these days; it’s all about group identity and therefore focused entirely on the world outside the self. In fact, the left’s unrelenting attack on individualism is the very thing that results in people being concerned (I think “obsessed” is a deliberate and pejorative choice by Watkins) with the status and future of their individual rights. And with those rights under threat, the world at large is also threatened. So the sucker punch here is that Watkins espouses an illiberal philosophy in a sly and insidious manner, implying that the world would be better off without these pesky individual rights. You’re selfish and short-sighted if you care about them. And she wants to distract you from the fact that they do matter to the betterment of the world at large.

" There’s nothing individualistic about the left these days; it’s all about group identity and therefore focused entirely on the world outside the self.

Yes, by being obsesses with future individual rights, soft left unintentionally protects the hard left, until hard left takes over and comes for them too.

Remember how recently all those academics calling themselves liberals had to sign a petition point to dangers of cancel culture that came for them too. But they didn't do anything about it when it was trying to cancel others. Liberal philosophy suffers from problematic contradictions, that it refuses to acknowledges. And inevitably gets itself into trouble., and the rest of us too. Liberals who are conservatives, meaning they appreciate the foundation of Western civilization and how it was built, is a different story. But non conservative liberals are the real problem.


“The only place that liberalism can truly flourish is within a capitalist society.”
― John Chaplin

“Liberal socialism is a good system, as long as economics grows. But when facing a huge economic competition, this system won't work anymore.” ― Jean Michel Rene Souche

"There can be no real individual freedom in the presence of economic insecurity."
― Chester Bowles (1901 - 1986), US diplomat & economist

“Modern liberalism suffers unresolved contradictions. It exalts individualism and freedom and, on its radical wing, condemns social orders as oppressive. On the other hand, it expects government to provide materially for all, a feat manageable only by an expansion of authority and a swollen bureaucracy. In other words, liberalism defines government as tyrant father but demands it behave as nurturant mother.” ― Camille Paglia, Free Women, Free Men: Sex, Gender, Feminism

I keep posting this video, because its so insightful and well made arguments that show the contradistinction nature of liberalism. For inherent problems in Liberalism, to save me the writing about it, you can look at this Liberalism: the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly

The reality is almost the opposite of what most people imagine. Liberalism depends on capitalism to enforce individual responsibility. The fact that capitalism will always end up ran by globalists and corporatists is an issue that can only be addressed through collective responsibility. Ideally that responsibility comes from voting with your "dollars" but under the U.S. republican government it also must come from wise representatives.

We know from history that democracy is mob rule but now that it de facto exists it seems it would be impossible to reverse. Some people suggest that term limits would encourage wise representation and limit the influence of corporatist lobbyists and other special interest groups, even the tyranny of the majority. I'm not convinced. What the last four years should have made clear is that the entrenched bureaucracy and a multi tiered justice system makes wise representation almost impossible and that regardless of the individual representatives the system is corrupted by party loyalty.

Liberal democracy is not a perfect system but it has proven to be better than all the others tried. At the moment idealism on both the left and right are proving to be destructive forces. In this context liberalism can be associated with humility and an open mind in opposition to the tribalism and quest for ideological purity we are experiencing.
