      I think I need to finish my thing on productive & unproductive ways to approach the problems on the extreme Left from a liberal perspective.

      Very often, I see people say 'get your own house in order' & I agree with this when that house is defined by ideology, ethics, principles.

      I disagree with it when its based on immutable characteristic. eg 'sort out white people' is less useful than 'sort out liberal lefties.'

      Because the latter is a set of ideas & approaches and discussion of what the key principles are & how to go about them is essential.

      But what is key is whether the intention in criticising aspects of the Left is to fix it & thus strengthen it or to undermine & weaken it.

      And critical reflection on whether what you are doing is likely to achieve that (assuming arrogantly that anyone is listening at all)

      Therefore, its important that liberal lefties criticise illiberal leftism from consistently liberal lefty principles not right-wing ones.

      Which is not to say that we should not be listening to liberal or moderate conservatives or acknowledging when they have a good point.

      The centre-right & centre-left can provide balance & insight to each other & can ally most productively against the extremists on both sides

          But we can only fix liberal leftism by doing liberal leftism & addressing the parts of the left which just aren't that.

          If you think the liberal left is best abandoned, do that, but if you retain its principles,make sure they are at the centre of your critique

          A parallel is in Islam. Ex-Muslims abandoned this set of ideas finding them unworthy on a root level whilst reformers try to fix the problem
