      I disagree with this. Illiberalism is the problem with any social problem. But this could come down to definitions. https://www.wsj.com/articles/theres-no-such-thing-as-an-illiberal-1501874893 …

      Because I don't see conservatism, nationalism or religion as necessarily in opposition to liberalism.

      And I think stamping out illiberalism in all its forms would be...well...illiberal.

      I don't think we need to lump every illiberal thing together - literally Hitler - to point out that the root of the problem is illiberalism.

      We should approach far-left illiberalism differently to far-right illiberalism & religiously-motivated illiberalisms individually too.

      Not to mention all the ideological illiberalisms which are neither religious nor straightforwardly left or right.

      I think solution is not to stop pointing out when ideas are illiberal but 2 stop claiming any ideology or political position owns liberalism

      I think Mr Hazony's conservatives who frame their support for human rights as liberalism do so quite consistently with the meaning of term.

      The misuse of the term 'liberalism' by people who are, in fact, authoritarian & intolerant of different ideas is certainly a problem.

      But I think the way to address this is to point out that they are being illiberal rather than reject concept of liberal & illiberal views.

          I know that sometimes concepts slide & the right thing to do is give up on them & relabel or just describe the values they once described.

          I was reluctant to abandon 'feminism' & wanted to reclaim it for the aim for gender equality. But I don't think we're there with liberalism.

          In fact, many on the hard-left who were so badly skewing the understanding of it are now rejecting it & lumping liberals with conservatives.

          It makes me happy when the radicals & identitarians explicitly state that they are not liberals.

          But, as I said, a lot of this cld be semantic differences, often national ones. Obviously, I don't think liberalism is defined by America.

          I think an understanding of liberalism as forcing a specific set of 'liberal' values onto everyone is a misunderstanding of it.

          A large part of it is an agreement to let people live by their own values & express them providing they're not harming anyone else.
