      The problem with even attempting to engage Sohrab Ahmari is the relentlessly dishonesty and bad faith of how he frames everything, like making out "classical liberals" as fans of the French Revolution.pic.twitter.com/ln5Q5Ra2dT

      This is not a thing that ever happens. I have never met a classical liberal who regarded 1789 as the watershed of human liberty. 1787, maybe; 1776, definitely; even 1689. But the French Revolution is pretty universally viewed as a cautionary tale of what not to do.

          I know this, you know this, Ahmari knows this. But it doesn't serve his narrative so he just makes stuff up. And then he lectures us about virtue and morality.

          You're right. But I have seen some distinguish between the early French Revolution (liberal and good) from the late French Revolution (illiberal and Robespierre). Which is to say the real French Revolution has never been tried.

          Unless you mean 1789 as the ratification of the US Constitution, then yes, I suppose it was

          That was 1788, but 17887 is the year most commonly associated with the Constitution. By 1789, Washington was being sworn in.https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/blog/the-day-the-constitution-was-ratified …

          Since when was Burke any kind of liberal ideologue? Though I guess he is very important to the kind of moderate conservatives who for whatever reason love self-identifying as "classical liberals" these days.

          Good article. But actually Mises and Hayek both referred favorably to "the ideas of 1789." Which doesn't mean they disliked 1688/89 or 1776.https://www.cato.org/blog/french-revolution-modern-liberty …
