      Classical liberalism has no authoritarianism & identity politics? John Stuart Mill thought non-whites had no free speech rights.

      Well then it's not classical liberalism. Why not come up with a new name rather than claiming identity with a complex heritage you don't actually have much in common with?

      As someone who’s self-IDed as a classical liberal for about 20 years, let me heartily endorse that idea. I hadn’t even been aware alt-right types were trying to coopt the term until... well, today.

      Though... wait, is Jeet suggesting the applicability of “classical liberal” is wedded to... dumb things Mill wrote about pre-industrial cultures? Because that’s absurd.

      No, I'm saying that actual classical liberal tradition is pretty complex with all sorts of strange by ways, so all modern "classical liberals" are just picking & choosing from that. I would prefer classical liberal to be be used only for pre-20th century stuff

      Unlike all other political traditions, which are marked by a clean heterogeneity requiring no such selection?

      I mean, there's a pretty clear split between two ongoing & evolving liberal traditions, and it isn't exactly absurd to call the older one "classical."

      I will grant that I understand why, say, Hayek called himself a classical liberal or a whig. But now term is used by many people who aren't really Hayekians (say Max Boot).

          Well, obviously it was absurd for Max Boot to lay claim to the label. It was absurd for King Hassan II to call himself a socialist too. Sometimes people toss around words inappropriately.

          Right, but there has been a real upsurge lately of people calling themselves "classical liberals" -- people with nothing in common with Hayek, let alone Locke or Mill. My tweet was directed against that.
