Kathryn :
Maybe Democratic Socialism like in Scandinavian countries is the better choice.

Liberalism is the problem. Free market capitalism only serves power and the elite. It is totalitarianism through markets instead of government.

Libralism morphed into radical left and wokeness. That's the real problem.

The inequality we have now, occurred under half a centre of liberalism. Rsing house prices, unhealthy work life balance, stagnant wages. And we are surprised, there’s not many left that support this system?

liberalism has utterly failed to challenge fascism. 'first they came for the communists' because that was the group that actually threatened fascism

Sklimp :
The problem with liberalism is that liberal governments forgot why their founders were skeptical of democracy. The popular will, which was meant to restrain the government from excess, has been given too much weight in the political process.

Liberalism won’t do anything, we need radical liberation.

Liberalism runs by consent? The consent of whom? You are dependent on the bank for your house. You are dependent on your boss for a wage. You are dependent on your insurer for your health. Who consented to this? In capitalism, you own nothing.

Scary part about present day conservatives is that they don’t have any guiding political principles. They simply change it simply because their “strongman” in the white house says so. Contradictions don’t detract them, literally nothing does.

David Anastasia :
Unfettered capitalism just leads to a majority of the wealth in the hands of the top 1%. It's time to abandon neo liberalism and go back to the Keynsian style economics of the 1950's and 1960's.

analysts think there's a complicated reason for what's happening as if people had any depth in their thinking. the truth is that migration in these last decades has sparked racism and that's all about: shallow people are easily controlled by their lowest instincts

"Open markets" is how we got here. Capitalism without restrictions is serving the capitalist elites first and is creating disillusion among common people.

Why always confuse ecnomic liberalism with political liberalism?

Neoliberalism had a good sales pitch but was a pass for unchecked greed. No good suggesting that we get back to liking the sales pitch when the product is hurting working people and the frontline of the economy.

🔰Charlie ⳩🇬🇧𖠰 :
Liberalism is now starmer trying to introduce digital id, the failure to stop migration is the biggest reason though. In 1991 it wasn’t so bad now after a few more decades of promises to stop it the right are rising because they are the only ones people believe will do that. When those same groups also say other right wing policies people start to agree with those. Demographics are destiny
