Is liberalism a failure of a political stance?

[New confederate ramenia]

Why doesn't he go start another famine instead of wattling on about liberalism?

Well Mao proved that the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Fucking evil liberal capitalists, with their high quality of life, and their access to food, they fucking suck.

You make one lighthearted reference to Mao and the right go crazy. Political correctness gone mad :'(

A lighthearted reference? That's a suprise, seeing as the left worships him as the saviour of the revolution.

They don't worship him that much, compared to people like Lenin.

>Implying everyone against Mao or communism is on the right
>Gustav Noske appears and wants to battle.
>Freikorps I choose you!


Plus, we live in crazy political times, tis to be expected. But at the end of the day the only thing that matters is the memes and shenanigans.

[Jochizyd Republic]

Without a doubt.

Probably.

I mean if I attribute it to MC Mao, I'm probably not going all pol sci on you.

And no, Maoists are and have always been a distinct (although sometimes vocal) minority in the Western radical left, let alone the mainstream left.

I have an altar to him in my garage. I sacrifice small mammals to his eternal soul.

Deadliest Warrior: Noske vs Mao. Would pay to view.

You've lightened up my day like the irony of an atheist college commuter at a meeting of college evangelical residents was only able to do.

Liberalism failed after the end of the Cold War when it became no longer an option but a Dogma.

Francis Fukuyama was wrong.

What the fuck does 'MC' even stand for?

That was a parody, as in like you said the whole 'right went crazy'.

Fuck the revolution.

Indeed.
Marxism is the bloodiest exponent of identity politics after tribalism.

I'm pretty far to the left, but all that workers' revolutions get you are the bastards at the top fighting with the other bastards at the top until the biggest bastard of all is in charge, and that's not the person who is going to willingly hand over power to the proletariat. Instead, you're getting a dictatorship for as long as dictators can keep it going.

No one in their right mind wants a worker's revolution. The point is that sometimes it's all you can do in the conditions you find yourself in.

Pretty much.
Always throughout human history, affinity fraud has been used by dictators to seize and maintain their power, by first claiming the allegiance of the people and ascribing to them a common and fundamental interest which all must align to or else be deemed traitors, and then using this to justify an escalating series of repressions.

Liberals are the opposite of Communists.

You cannot be a "Liberal Socialist" but you can be a "Libertarian Socialist".

Many americans misuse the term

And it would be best if it were not incited or carried forward by a sadistic demagogue.

afaik Communism involves collective non-monetarist ownership of the means of production and that's all I can remember being said on it.
Liberalism economically aligns, broadly, with private ownership...so I guess in that respect at least you're right.

That's fine, but people need to remember that revolutions are bloody, cause enormous drains on resources, get civilians caught in the crossfire, and tend to be notoriously unpredictable.

The question is what would motivate one to committing to such a course.
