Liberation was a confused combination of relief, joy, shame, and the dangerous temptation of a pro-Soviet French Communist Party.
It is noteworthy that "liberalism" (or "neo-liberalism") is a bad word in nearly all fashionable ideology, whether derived from Hegel, Nietzsche, or Marx.
Since nearly every evil of the 20th century resulted from a rejection of liberalism, this all reflects a continuing unwillingness to learn from history that is astounding in its obstinacy and folly.

It apparently never occurs to the liberal mind that the other human body involved might be something to consider as well, or that the obvious question to be asked is when does a fetus become a human life, worthy of the same protections as every other individual.
Since it is inarguable (even by liberals) that at some point in our development all of us are imbued with the same life force which affords us rights under the Constitution, simply taking a wild guess at when that moment in time may occur isn't consistent with the basic concept of justice.
Liberals want you to accept what they say at face value and respect what they do without carefully considering the destructive practices they adopt, or the divisive rhetoric they utter.

 CenterFeud: The Liberals' Creed
We believe that the war in Iraq conducted by a Republican president was unjustified because it lacked UN approval; We believe that the "military action" in Kosovo conducted by a Democratic president was justified without UN approval.
As much as I must agree with both the liberal creed and the great starts to the conservative creed, I did find them both funny and relative to the point, but I must ask myself if it can really be better.
Second, the liberals and the conservatives say the things that we all react to but when one or the other is in charge is there that much of a difference?

 Trotsky - Permanent Revolution
The Social Democrats were to support the liberal bourgeoisie against the reaction and at the same time to defend the interests of the proletariat against the liberal bourgeoisie.
Since the liberal bourgeoisie, which confronts the worker as an enemy, is intimately bound by innumerable ties to large landed property, the genuine democratic liberation of the peasantry can be realised only by the revolutionary co-operation of the workers and peasants.
Hence the lesson: It is impermissible and fatal to break or weaken a political line for purposes of vulgar conciliationism; it is impermissible to paint up centrism when it zig-zags to the left; it is impermissible, in the hunt after the will-o'-the-wisps of centrism, to exaggerate and inflate differences of opinion with genuine revolutionary co-thinkers.

But when it came time, it turned out that the left was mostly opposed to such liberation, whether of the Afghan people or of the Iraqis (especially if America and a Republican president were at the helm).
David Horowitz is a case in point: he was a communist and radical in the 1960s, now he's a libertarian, free speech defender and anathema to the ivory tower liberalism that dominates academia and much of the Democratic party.

Liberals hesitate to give up their doomsday prognostications, conservatives hesitate to admit progress during recent decades of strong central government, and public optimism is conspicuously lacking.
The authors explain that currency boards, adopted by countries pursuing a visible anti-inflation policy, consist of three elements: an exchange rate that is pegged to an "anchor currency" like the dollar; the right to exchange domestic currency at this fixed rate whenever desired; and a long-term commitment to the system.

 UD - Nationalism and the Russian political spectrum: Locating and evaluating the extremes
In Russia, liberal theorists as well as nationalists of different shadings, to a large extent still follow this distinction; ‘patriotism’ remains a highly rated term, whereas only a few extremists admit to being nationalists.
The fact that the liberal deputies and parties did not seriously oppose the nationalist policies of the assemblies may partly be explained both by the political leaning of the deputies, and partly by their concern not to be seen as completely insensitive to issues of national pride.
That is not to say that the liberal politicians have merely attempted to steal the thunder of the nationalists.

Pointing out the factual errors of the tired old Clinton=China=treason wingnut canard is certainly not changing the subject; it’s shedding light on yet one more logical fallacy the typical conservative argument is based upon — if the facts ain’t the facts, then the argument won’t hold water.
Clinton campaigned on welfare reform, balancing the budget, and centrism and immeidately turned leftist when he was elected.

So it is perhaps appropriate that the liberal revolution of the 1980s and '90s, having morphed from classical liberalism to libertarianism, should today have crested and now be on the defensive.
Democrats might do well to consider nominating a liberal ideologue in '04 who, though they likely would get swamped at the polls, could reinvigorate the party, restore its sense of purpose, and motivate a new generation of young activists, as the Goldwater campaign did for Republicans in '64.
Lieberman, not that he is too moderate for liberal voters, after all he shucked all his non-Leftist opinions easily enough when he ran with Gore, but that he is too Jewish for fl voters.

 Theses of the Communist League of Struggle
Instead of the peaceful and legal "action of the majority", Fascism replaced this liberalism with the open call for violent action of the minority.
Fascism, then, builds up a complete theory of nationalization of capital, of the untramelled corporate or totalitarian state, of compulsory class collaboration (with its prohibition of strikes, murder of militant workers, breaking up of all workers' organizations etc.) and of the dominant role of religion in State and social life.
Pressed by the crisis and the fear of losing their property through revolution, the liberals of yesterday become the Fascists of today and, as the dupes of reaction, open the gates to Fascism from within parliament itself.

Thus the KKE itself appearing in a technical manner with the form of the Popular Front gave its support inside Parliament to the big reactionary party of liberal capitalism which under its government the working class and the peasants felt the biggest oppression and exploitation.
Allying themselves with the Liberal Party in 1935 and disagreeing with the United Workers and Peasants Front against the Restoration, the KKE aided the venizelites in deceiving the antimonarchist masses and in preparing thus clearly from 1935 (May) their compromise with the ousted King and to restore him.
