but to work, liberalism has to be universal, no? So is therefore authoritarian to those that can't accept it?
-
That's the paradox. The only way to prevent ppl from forcing their views on others is by force. Prosecuting them.
-
The only alternative is to say 'everyone is allowed to live as they wish including making others live as they say'. Doesn't work

Have to agree You can live as a far-right religious conservative & I can live as a far-left atheist & we leave each other alone.
-
In this way liberalism is a compromise enabling ppl to live together rather than a position in itself.
-
Not that the conservatives opposed by the liberals in sense of right vs left. The left can't impose its values on right either.
