The death of liberalism. posted by lenin [from Lenin's Tomb]

The material basis of liberalism, in the broad and hegemonic sense, is
advanced, relatively stable capitalism with high employment
coterminous with steady urbanisation.

But even if
this were a desirable goal, the empire has been liquidating the basis
for liberalism for decades, whether in Chile, Lebanon, Iran.
The problem is that, just as the material basis of liberalism has
disappeared, socialists have become, by and large, liberals. They
have no alternative ideology.
