>>9158>So it's liberalism.yes and no, it's true that the contemporary conservative position is ultimately a liberal one in some sense, but not vice-versa
liberalism is contradictory, it was the progenitor of both socialism and fascism, it combined moments of progress with moments of regress
this all relates to the failure of the enlightenment project and the dual births of science as a systematic enterprise and ideology as a secular religion
when i say that the left isnt even liberal im also saying that what we call liberalism often isnt really liberalism either, i would rather have genuine liberalism than what we have now just because it would at least not condemn history into a permanent stasis
