Exactly. All the "liberalism is dead" are just republicans. Unaware that the its the free market policies that make it such that both parents NEED to be working to have kids. That people need to dedicate the first 25 years of their life to be productive enough to afford kids. It;s not just some cultural phenomenom, but instead economic forces that allow the cultural elements to become not only permissible, but to a certain degree, desirable and ultimately necessary,

>What do you disagree with, in the current republican platform?
Virtually all of it. In spirit and in substance. I fucking hate the republicans. The existing Republican Party is just a death cult. The Republican Party should be target number one for communitarians, but then you get people like Deneen who can’t seem to make the connection between capitalism, free markets, and social corrosion (despite him talking about it), and then sucks up to Orban, probably because he thinks natalism by itself is some radical program, when it at best could only be a piece of a bigger picture. Communitarianism a priori rules out free markets.

This is exactly my point. It's like people who read Houellbecq and think its just a critique of cosmopolitan liberals

Deneen’s own words
>”A rejection of the world’s first and last remaining ideology does not entail its replacement with a new and doubtless not very different ideology. Political revolution to overturn a revolutionary order would produce only disorder and misery. A better course will consist in smaller, local forms of resistance: practices more than theories, the building of resilient new cultures against the anticulture of liberalism.”
What Deneen does with this book is what all critics of liberalism end up doing, and that is surrender while claiming to take action. He readily confesses that despite all his skepticism against liberalism he doesn’t really want it to be replaced and certainly does not want to use violence. His preferred course of action is to literally do nothing at all about greater society and instead retreat into home schooling and bible studies with the kids. This is how you end up with absurd contradictions like the potential future Vice President of the liberal empire being an admirer of a book about why liberalism is bad.

All sides of the spectrum inevitably default into liberalism even when they claim to oppose it because none of them are really against the system in their hearts, none of them want to see what the world would be like if America wasn’t dominant and if a different regime was in control. Nobody really wants a world without Walmart and porn. This is a very insightful book, but like Deneen says in the opening, it’s only the first step. It’s groundwork for better, more productive steps to overcome liberalism. People like Deneen on the other hand will continue to be boring Republicans who fantasize about their small town white Catholic utopia

I can imagine he is. The thing is: my issued statement to him is: you’re doing it wrong.
I have a theory about why this book and communitarianism is having a resurgence among right-wing conservatives, but I don’t think anyone could believe it. In short it involves a certain spoiling game.

>>23804991
You’ve made an error with your green text.
Deneen has this thing where he thinks that systems that are contrary to human nature are ideological, because they aren’t built on unsound anthropological groundings. That’s his definition of ideology: a theory that is anthropologically unsound. When he says he doesn’t want any new ideologies that means he doesn’t want anymore unsound theories, not no more contenders to liberalism. I really think his own personal cynicism is getting to you and making you read him wrong. You’re reading into his text his later intentions which may not be there.
>He readily confesses that despite all his skepticism against liberalism he doesn’t really want it to be replaced
He does say he wants a new system, but as you can see he isn’t sticking to it.
>and certainly does not want to use violence.
Not many people do. Communitarianism tends to be antirevolutionary in theory, but I don’t think it should be because as it says most of the substance of the community is already destroyed.
>retreat into home schooling and bible studies
What he says he wants in the conclusion of the book is more localism, and I think he has evolutionary ideas in mind because he refuses to give any prethought out plans for what the new system should be like, because he doesn’t really believe in that kind of planning (it’s somewhat like what Marx does), but the problem is home schooling and bible studies is what localism boils down to for people with an impoverished sense of community to begin with.
>All sides of the spectrum…none of them are really against the system…
In my opinion that sounds a little too cynical. Since it seems like you and I, for example, oppose it.
>Nobody really wants a world without Walmart and porn.
Though there are indeed cynical appropriators like Vance, I find it very hard to believe that.

I want to add to this.
I read an article about Deneen and a speech he gave for an audience of Republicans. Now Deneen has gone on record saying Karl Marx was one of the influences on his communitarianism. He says this in his book, and said it of these republicans. When he said this to these republicans, some of the women were literally gasping about this.
Thus, I’m sure one of the reasons why we can’t get any leftish communitarians is because of the rabid anticommunism still ravaging the USA to this day. It is absurd how bad it is here still to this day.

Hey retard, the reason small businesses mostly fail, they're hard to start back up, manufacturing is being outsourced, and entry level jobs do not have entry level requirements, is specifically BECAUSE of over-regulation and rampant unionization.

The "neoconservative" ideology comes from Trotskyists who infiltrated the media and the CIA. Jay Dyer has spoken on this topic in great depth.

>>23805284
The people responding to you are wrong. Marxism is a philosophy that originates with Karl Marx, which is so wide that one struggles to think of common beliefs shared by all of them. Someone might try to point to historical materialism but there are heterodox Marxists like Moishe Postone that reject it. There are also people like the Analytical Marxists who reject his critique of political economy. So yeah there isn't really a definition beyond "philosophy that originates with Karl Marx and claims significant continuity with his work".
Trotskyism and Stalinism are two types of Leninism, which is a type of Marxism originating from Lenin whose distinctive beliefs are in the vanguard party (an elite segment of the working class that leads it through the revolution). Confusingly, Stalinists call themselves "Marxist-Leninists". The basic rift between Stalinists and Leninists is on the question of whether socialism in one country is possible, Stalinists affirming that it is and that therefore the USSR was socialist and Trotskyists claiming that it is not and that the USSR was neither-socialist-nor-capitalist but rather a degenerated attempt at transformation, or more rarely that it was a form of state capitalism; Trotskyists see a world revolution as a requirement for communism.

Trotsky actually had a coherent set of beliefs, an ideology if you will. Stalin never did. He supported the NEP (basically peasants and merchants could trade freely while big industries were under State control) with Bukharin and against Trotsky, then when Trotsky was exiled he did a 180 and pretty much adopted Trotsky platform of heavy industrialization and collective farms while turning on Bukharin saying he was for the restauration of capitalism.

Worker protections have been breaking down for decades, free trade has been expanding at rapid rates, unionization is at an all time low.

At the same time, do you really think that big corporate lobbys aren't encouraging women to enter the labour force (primarily at the low end) knowing that the entry of millions of women will reduce negotiating power for all workers and allow for wages to be suppressed.

what is the difference between Liberal and liberal
>>
>>23808518
They are Liberals in the sense that they adhere to the system of Liberalism, the economic and political ideology of individual autonomy granted by the state under the constitutional rule of law. this has been the dominant system throughout modernity thanks to the power of the West, and its philosophy is the basis for all our moral assumptions, faith in science and secular beliefs. It is so comprehensively ingrained in people that, like you, they can't even identify what Liberalism really is. Within Liberalism there's a spectrum of varying views and those that lean towards views of progressive, rational and left-leaning views are popularly referred to as liberals, today represented by people like Kamala Harris and AOC. On the right are those deemed conservative like Trump. Regardless of the friction between these sides, states like America are still inherently liberal democracies guided by liberal principles. Every little faction and ideology that you can think of in liberal societies -- conservatives, libertarians, social democrats, etc etc -- are really just chess pieces laid on the same board with the same players. The book makes this very clear at the start. The regimes of America and other Western states is decidedly that of Liberal Democracy. Books like this are about the upper-case terms and systems. For the peasants that want to discuss their intra-liberal culture wars, Twitter and Reddit are more their speed
>>
>>23808590
Not him, but you're lumping in Capitalism with Liberalism, like the book does. Capitalism is the economic counterpart to Liberalism, but they're distinct. Liberalism alone isn't responsible for all of these things. Capitalism is also what drives globalization, not Liberalism.
>>
>>23808928
Liberalism and capitalism are symbiotic. All of the values that underpin capitalist development come from liberal views on private property and work ethic. They’re technically distinct the way that democracy and liberalism are, but it’s rare that they operate absent of each other. Liberalism needs capitalism and democracy to exist.
>>
>>23808955
Perhaps, but I think there's a significant difference between the inherent colonialism of Capitalism that seeks to eradicate other cultures versus Democracy, which seeks to preserve them. Something of these three does not truly belong.
>>
>>23809022
Capitalism is the one most inherent to modernity since it’s contingent on technology. You can try to control it or put a leash on it but inevitably you’ll end up with the same political trends and social defects. It’s just the way the world is. Hence why Marxist-Leninist states either perished or accepted they have to open up more to markets in some way. Democracy, while vague and hardly observable in the truest sense, is a normal human behavior and virtually all states claim to be democratic including the aforementioned Leninist states. This leaves liberalism as by far the most arbitrary and devious system. It’s the rubber band that holds everything together, it’s the ideology that underpins everything we believe about democracy and science and morality and life in the world today. You can have capitalism and democracy without liberalism, but liberalism can’t exist without either of them. This is why liberalism is the greater threat and the most powerful factor to consider in the modern world. It claims to answer all life and history, and the masses really believe it. If it wasn’t for liberal propaganda then every other institution we have would lose its legitimacy.

Democracy requires friendliness towards strangers, so I don't know if I'd call it a "normal human behavior." Fear is just as normal as friendliness, if not more normal. However, I would agree that liberalism is the problem, not democracy.

>Capitalism is the one most inherent to modernity since it’s contingent on technology.
Liberalism is in fact just as inherent. Liberalism and capitalism are two sides of the same coin of modernity, and if we're going to attack one, we need to attack the other. These systems comprise an advanced political-economic method of control. The primary ideological concept of liberalism is transparency — make everything known, expose everything, leave nothing private. Democracy is the opposite of this. You can't trust someone else if you know everything about them already, because trust has no value anymore in that situation. The democrat is the friend who trusts those he doesn't fully know and welcomes them into his home, prepared to defend himself if needed. The liberal-capitalist, in contrast, is the colonialist who coerces others into enslaving themselves so he doesn't have to bother establishing and earning trust.

that was only while we had block politics against the soviet union and the politicians had to ensure labourers had better lives than in the other block in the 90s, now we see politians shipping tens of thousands of scabs from Haiti, and finance their lives through government spending so that local corporations can hire them for pennies, and most of the left claps for it. a few decades ago unions were running scabs out of town, if not doing worse things

Democracy didn't fail, it ran its course and accomplished what it wanted. The democrats who established modern democracy several generations back got to have all the sex and parties and drugs and create all the art they were hoping for. Those people are now old or dead and younger generations don't have the same creative or destructive energies, so democracy is becoming less and less desired. In contrast, younger generations are even becoming in favor of in-home government surveillance and of eliminating cash for a pure digital currency. Technology and the environment shapes our perception of things and younger generations, since they've grown up on digital technology in an internet-connected global economy, don't care about social or political freedom to the same extent anymore. They're more concerned with quality of life and safety.

>that means it’s dead/went away/is being superseded
For the love of god, the “failed” in this title means that Liberalism isn’t delivering on its promises to the people ruled over by it, not anything else.
>>
>>23811105
Deneen doesn't go far enough and realize that liberalism's promises to begin with were never meant to be realized, only being a method of ideological control. There's nothing to be delivered. Liberalism, by design, is a system where the masses are supposed to be fat homosexual parasites who work and order food all day. That is its intended purpose. The fact that we ended up at that point means the opposite of what Deneen says, it means liberalism actually works perfect.

Liberalism was meant to help the merchants and bureaucrats overthrow a stagnant aristocracy, and it accomplished that. The ultimate result of this was a stagnant mercantile bureaucracy which incidentally consumermaxxes everyone into sterile gay blobs
It wasn't meant to turn everyone into fat brown trannies because such a concept would have been beyond their comprehension, and you're an idiot for even phrasing it this way, even if you were trying to communicate the same point as myself above.

Trannyism comes from Kabbalah and sometimes other forms of occult magic too. It is about erasing all boundaries and distinctions so that the world can be fused together into one formless unity, which they call Tikun Olam. They think that it will save the world because they have this presupposition (a false and Satanic presupposition) that distinctions and boundaries are evil and they must.be overcome, such as national borders or distinctions betweem genders and so on. It's all part of the path towards the Antichrist who will unite the world against God.

I hope you dumbasses who keep bitching about "muh boredom" and shitting on liberal democracy are happy when shit goes down, maybe as soon as two months from now when some state legislature decides to overturn its election results for the "God Emperor" because of "fraud."

You fucks are always frothing at the prospect of "muh boog" (probably helps having no kids/responsibilities) but cried about the pandemic and 8% inflation. Guess what, if we have someone trying to seize control of the state by force you're going to have easily 30% inflation. Shit will be closed because there are mines and artillery fire between areas. You won't have to cry about muh $10 gas because there will be plenty of areas where there is no gas. US infrastructure has no redundancies for chaos.

And as you sit in your unaidconditioned, unheated house with no internet to use, you might finally think: "ohhh, shit, we were the weak men who caused hard times. We were so coddled we thought destroying the world's oldest and most successful democracy out of a fit of childish ennui was le heckin based heroics and now life sucks."

No, the title is a meme just like Fukuyama’s End of History. What he really means is that as liberalism grows more powerful it inevitably betrays the values that it has promised to people and becomes its own worst enemy. Freedom leads to statism and surveillance, individuality leads to homogenization and identity politics, etc. Unless liberalism can sort its foundational contradictions then some kind of civil infighting will occur just like in the world wars. The book’s these I believe is fundamentally true

nta, and this is true, but COVID-19 was still real. I had the original along with my entire family. It was bad, and we personally knew people who died. The fact that this was leveraged to accelerate the development of a digital surveillance state should tell you just how fucked up things are.

Crime spiked so high the FBI stopped reporting it

The economy crashed so hard people can barely afford rent and food

The healthcare system imploded so bad people need two jobs just to afford a house and healthcare

The education system got so bad they had to stop grading literacy and maths, teachers are getting beat up in classrooms and trannies are allowed to groom gradeschoolers

The immigration is so garbage we now have diseases returning back into america that were almost obliterated 50 years ago and the bulk of social services money (which is the bulk of the fedreal budget --most libcuks don't know the difference between discretionary and non discretionary funding) goes to undocumented or first gen 80IQs that get housing priority... also completely fucking housing prices

The environmental policy has been so shit that ocean acidification and deforestation have created endless drought cycles in the midwest

Because people that claim to be liberals aren't actually liberals and don't know what that word even means.

Liberal came out of libertarianism in the 18th century and was in opposition to authoritarian-big-government and pro open-minded-ness founded in open discussion. Now liberals worship big government and censorship.
