I believe in limits.
Dominic Russell
Classical liberalism is a good ideology
Xavier Sanchez
I was, not anymore.
William Peterson
What are those limits?
Why do you think so?
Why not?

>Why do you think so?
It is a rational way to govern. It is fair to the majority opinion and the minority opinion and it is devised so that no one system of government is overpowered.
Ethan Lee
I was, but then I read Marx, and later the Traditionalists.

Liberalism pushes the individual to break that balance which lays in the midst of what's right and wrong.
Jeremiah Martin
Unironically this
Michael Mitchell
Marx is the logical continuation of this.
Benjamin Carter

James Roberts

It's the reverse. Anti-modernity, and in some respects anti-technology (à la Rousseau, Kaczynski, etc.) is the logical continuation of anti-capitalism, since these things are all 'entangled,' so to speak (Misa, et. al., Modernity and Technology, pp. 1-30), so anyone who adopts the critique of modernity should logically adopt the critique of capitalism as a necessary aspect of it. Especially if you read the Postmodernists (and the critical theorists, etc.), there is a lot to be learned from a Traditionalist perspective, as even Dugin admits in his interview with Lauren Southern. From a Marxian standpoint this entails both the return to and the critique of Hegel, as the critical theorists have done, but not to their Hegel, rather, to the Hegel of the speculative theologians, "who read Hegel in the same way as they read the great mystical theosophists" (Corbin, The Concept of Comparative Philosophy, p. 7), and with a critique which incorporates Adorno's concept of 'negative dialectics' and frees Hegel from the 'evolutionism' critiqued by Guénon (Studies in Hinduism, p. 72).

Depends. If we're establishing the definition of 'liberal' as classically interested and supportive of the democratic process and individual freedoms from tyrannical governments, then yes. If we're appropriating the terminology to include liberal economic theory, then no, as the state of capital is antithetical to that pure ideal.
Angel Peterson
The absolute freedom of liberalism will ultimately jeopardize the benefits of the community life for people in a state. Attempting to place the individual ahead of the nation is wrong. For the individual to live, the nation first must itself live; this requires that one cannot do what he wants, but must align himself with the common interests of the people and accordingly accept limitations and sacrifices.
Anthony Cox
To organize persons into a cooperative, functional society requires that its members renounce certain personal ambitions for the welfare for others of society, such as defense, trade, prosperity, companionship and securing nourishment, people achieve through compromise for the good of all.
Kevin Watson
the problem with individualism is that it treats individuals as homogeneous and interchangeable units, whereas individuals differ in type and quality. some people are just superior to others. individual liberty is a good ideal tho, but it should be constrained within certain limits in order to produce civilizational excellence
Jose Thomas
Yes.
John Miller
Colton Wright

But does it work in practice?
Brody Baker
Im teaching english in Thailand.
Here they have a king, the military runs everything and they have voting for minor things.
I like it, its not like king is set out to enslave everyone, its in his best interest that everyone does well.
People have healthcare, social security, there are places for the ill...
In the United States they portray all military rule like some sort oppressive regime.
Alexander Davis
ofc
As well as freedom of association which precedes freedom itself. Since influence on U.S. courts have disbanded liberty in America this is an unliberal country therefore there's a national split of anti-liberals and true liberals each vying for rightful claim on the term.
Perfect liberalism is ideal and spawns the analytic-continental divide always permissive of absolute freedom among others from powerful buildings along the eastern seaboard; maintain security.
The Jewish pervision of the concept, constructed in the 60s by Dylan and Chomsky, will destroy the world. For liberals the only option is to counter real.
>its not like king is set out to enslave everyone
No fucking shit, retard!
