Good thread from Evan. Any serious populist agenda must entail using the state to dismantle globalist NGOs, which are little more than vehicles for oligarchic interests.

In what sense do progressives not believe that politics cannot be based around a conception of the Good? They have a rigid, insane moral system, which they are imperialistically forcing upon the world.

This reveals two things:

1. Much discussion on the right about “liberalism” is useless because it conflates classical liberalism with modern leftism—the two are very different.

2. A politics rooted in “the Good” may sound appealing, but the truth is that there are many Goods—who will determine which Good will be enshrined in law? Even within Catholic circles, much disagreement can be found politically.

I’m not a moral relativist by any means, but keep in mind that certain post-liberals support mass immigration. These aren’t necessarily people we want defining the Good.

Yes, good point. Some of these types support vax mandates and cite “the common good” as a justification.

I do believe that the state has a role to play in promoting virtue, which is why I identify more with the conservative tradition than liberalism, but I’m wary about *who* gets to use state power to enforce morality.

And Vax Mandates as well, Mr. Casey.

Liberalism (classical): Free speech, protections for dissidents, limits on state power, property rights

Does this sound like the ruling ideology we’re up against? Just call it leftism or globalism! Liberalism isn’t perfect, but pretending our elites are owning us with Lockean philosophy is just goofy.

“What if the vaccine wasn’t a failure?”

What if indeed!

To be clear, what passes for liberalism today on the left is bad. It's okay to call these people liberals. The issue is acting as if there is one big Liberalism™ that includes classical liberalism, libertarianism, progressivism, wokeness, socialism, etc. These various ideologies are related in some ways, sure, but calling everything you dislike liberalism doesn't help you understand the world.

Uh, careful what you wish for buddy…

Can I get a patriot fact check on this?

In case anyone needed a reminder that state/political pressure on corporations is a primary factor in woke capital

Joe Rogan is either going to capitulate or suffer deplatforming. The regime won’t tolerate this level of wrongthink occurring on such a big platform for much longer.

I think Burnham was ultimately wrong about the managerial revolution. A central claim he makes is that such a revolution would entail increased state ownership of industry. He was writing in the 40s so this made sense at the time.

What we see now is that globalism doesn’t involve state ownership of industry, but rather an increasingly powerful and invasive state dictating the parameters within which industry—and human life in general—can operate.

Burnham differentiates between managers (those who oversee production) and political bureaucrats (those who oversee governance). Yet I see people conflating the two all the time. If anything we’ve had a revolution of the latter, not the former.

With that said, The Managerial Revolution is an insightful book, even if it doesn’t hold up 100%. It’s definitely worth engaging with.

Be sure to check out my discussion with Nightmare Vision on Burnham if you haven’t already.
