      1. Like all sane people I would rather be covered in honey & eaten by a bear rather than revisit the Hillary versus Bernie debate.

      2. But maybe Hillary v. Bernie can usefully be recast as liberalism versus socialism.

      3. The curious thing about liberalism versus socialism is that they aren't quite antithetical nor are they quite allies.

      4. Classical liberalism, which predates democracy, is antithetical to socialism in fundamental way of prioritizing property above all

      5. Classical liberalism prized the freedom of the individual above all, with individual being specifically propertied white men.

      6. But the rise of mass democracy (pushed for by socialists) became the norm, liberalism had to face reality of diverse individualisms.

      7. Liberalism splintered into two: one side continuing to prioritize elite white men (libertarianism) other side accepting democracy

          8. John Stuart Mill is pivotal figure because he was first major liberal to recognize that mass democracy meant accepting socialism.

          9. Post-Mill, all major liberal thinkers (Russell, Dewey, Rawls, Bobbio) have pushed for a conciliation of liberalism with social democracy

          10. That's the theory. Practical reality is messier. In USA, major liberal party (Dems) has complicated relationship with socialism.

          11. On one hand, long history of Democrats actively repressing socialists (jailing Debs, Truman admin, COINTELPRO & Sullivan at FBI)

          13. With socialism now more active in USA than anytime since 1960s, question is with Dems go path of suppression or co-option.
