Make Liberalism Great Again: a 6 Step Plan by TaraElla

[Squinch]

3. Nope. This is bullshit. The author has confused "liberal" with "libertarian."

For example:

The author encourages "discussion" with climate change deniers.

The author encourages us to open up our arms to anti-abortion forces.

The author says we should not use economic tactics to support marriage equality.

The author says:

The liberal welfare state is based on the idea that everyone deserves equal opportunity, and deviation from equality of treatment threatens the very existence of this institution.

Firstly, the welfare state, which includes things like social security and medicare, is not "liberal." It is a national value. Secondly yes, true liberals DO believe in equality of opportunity but true liberals DO believe that INequalities of opportunity need to be addressed and eliminated. To believe differently is to maintain the system in which white men have the opportunities and everyone else is told to go scratch.

The author complains about "identity politics." Let's, once again, be clear. "Idenitity politics" = civil rights. True liberals support them.

The author suggests that liberals discourage people from living traditional lifestyles. This is right wing smear bullshit.

This article is nothing but a ridiculous, self-contradicting diatribe against true liberals.
