[lbo-talk] post analytical Marxist era/ post liberal era

[Charles Brown]

    "Political liberalism is the view that the best form of government

    involves universal suffrage, competitive elections, and extensive

    political and civil liberties."

CB: We now know that the political liberal view is fundamentally
deficient. The best form of government  involves  GUARANTEE OF A RIGHT
TO A JOB OR INCOME, universal suffrage, competitive elections, and
extensive  political and civil liberties.  The "best form of government"
you describe fails to take account of the thinking and experience of the
last 150 years. Your definition was fresh in the period of Jefferson. It
was superceded in the period of Marx. We've been in a post-liberal era
for longer than in a post-Marxist era. Your definition is a "back to the
future" one. Your definition is idealist political thinking. Materialist
political thinking has overcome idealist political thinking as the
best.
