      One problem with @jonathanchait's argument is that it sees illiberalism as somehow mutually exclusive with actually existing liberalism

      @HeerJeet @jonathanchait Then isn't the response to say that liberalism should do a better job of living up to its own principles?

      Replying to @DamonLinker

      @DamonLinker @jonathanchait No, because liberalism has often been pushed to do a better job by the very socialists Chait despises.

      @HeerJeet @DamonLinker One could just as easily argue it's been pushed to do a better job by the conservatives I despise.

      @jonathanchait @DamonLinker On racism? On imperialism? On feminism? On building a social democracy? Where has the pressure come from?

      @HeerJeet @jonathanchait You're blurring terms. If you mean "Denmark-style socialism," then maybe. But Chait is talking about Marxism.

      @DamonLinker @jonathanchait I think Chait is conflating Marxist-Leninism with Marxism.

      @HeerJeet @jonathanchait In the real world, that's a distinction without a difference.

      @DamonLinker @jonathanchait The European social democratic parties include Marx as part of their lineage, rightly so.

          @HeerJeet Well, Marx himself (who hated labor unions and other half-way measures) would be very disappointed by that.

          @HeerJeet @jonathanchait It's important to remember the US was really unique in its total rejection and demonization of Marxism in 20th cent

          @HeerJeet @jonathanchait Many other places continued viewing it as one of many strands and tendencies behind the existing political economy
