SPQRA subset of the population wants to be ruled by strongmen, authoritarians who can punish perceived opponents, and illiberal autocrats contemptuous of the enlightenment project. It is evident in how many look to the mafia and its cinematic iterations as heroes. Trump is the destroyer; his MAGAts are the drug fuelled berserkers setting civilization aflame. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trumpism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trumpism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberalism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mafia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mafia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legal</a> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/opinion/trump-universities-mafia-state.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/opinion/trump-universities-mafia-state.html</a>

Liam O'Mara IV, PhDOne trick to understanding our world is to see the way <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberalism</a> feeds into its presumed opposite by advancing a politics of bland <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/corporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corporate</a> domination that explicitly reduces individual <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freedom</a>. By advancing the power of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/capital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capital</a>, liberals create conditions for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tyranny</a>.

ErwinI'm trying to wrap my head around why <a href="https://toot.re/tags/liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberalism</a> went from a humanistic pursuit out of the enlightenment, into am ideology that only seems to care for people in the abstract.It would be interesting to try and reframe liberalism into a collectivist framework, without the zero-sum freedom mindset we got used to lately.For that, the <a href="https://toot.re/tags/capitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalist</a> urge to try and see everything as a market to exploit needs to go. Also, any individual need has to be translated into a common need.Possible?

Leftist LawyerJust a reminder … The opposite of a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/populist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#populist</a> is an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/elitist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elitist</a> Which makes me wonder why “populist” movements so often promote “elite” outcomes. Do you know what we call elitism, instead of elitism? <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liberalism</a>, that’s what. Is the picture becoming clearer now?

Liam O'Mara IV, PhD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/%C5%BDi%C5%BEek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Žižek</a> is both right and wrong here. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Neofascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neofascism</a> is distinct from classic fascism, and Trump's <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> is of the sort that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberalism</a> produces. The right-<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libertarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#libertarian</a> movement was always explicitly <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarian</a> and even generic liberalism builds ever greater state power.

Liam O'Mara IV, PhDTo-day I'm coincidentally lecturing on both <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a>/#nazism and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberalism</a>/#conservatism in different classes, and it got me thinking of the MANY ways that both the latter contribute to the emergence of the former. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Capital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capital</a> breeds power and our system is rotten to the core...

Any tailing of the conservative right-wing, be it directly by (diet) right-wing Liberals, or transitively by (misguided, so-called) left-wingers hitching their wagons to Liberals, is an exercise in futility.

Miguel Afonso Caetano"What the two of them so effusively believe about growth is more or less what I think about redistribution. Which is to say: when you redistribute wealth, you in fact hasten a present that is radically different from the one we currently know.In an unequal society where the majority must invest the lion’s share of their time and energy into the labour required to obtain the bare necessities of life, individuals lose much in the way of personal freedom and life satisfaction. But we also collectively sacrifice unfathomable quantities of human creativity and potential. There might be abundant growth, but that can matter very little if its fruits aren’t broadly shared.Redistribution does not equal, as Klein and Thompson assert, a mere “parceling out of the present.” In a very difference sense than theirs, it represents its own agenda of abundance — one reflecting the richest egalitarian ideas of the 19th and 20th centuries. The liberalism of the 21st might reject those ideas, but many of us on the left still see them as indispensable. Socialism, contrary to what many of its critics have historically claimed, is first and foremost concerned with human freedom: freedom to think, freedom to dream, freedom to create, freedom to live unburdened by toil (...) Klein and Thompson appear to believe distributional questions can be mostly elided if enough new technology is invented and a sufficient quantity of stuff is built and produced. Contentious debates about degrowth aside, I find this assertion vastly more improbable and utopian than the project of universal social welfare or the realization of social and economic rights. Scientific and technological innovations can be hugely beneficial, but until we live in the world of Star Trek: The Next Generation it’s unlikely they will ever compensate for the dearth of social and economic justice."<a href="https://www.lukewsavage.com/p/the-paucity-of-abundance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.lukewsavage.com/p/the-paucity-of-abundance</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liberalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neoliberalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Growth</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Degrowth</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Socialism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Abundance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Abundance</a>

Liam O'Mara IV, PhD<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Liberalism</a> is a right-wing philosophy that defends capital accumulation.
