Hot take: John C Calhoun was not a “reactionary” as libs would brand him in order to build a gulf between themselves. He was in actuality a very typical liberal well within the confines of Andrew Fletcher and Francis Lieber’s political philosophy.
"That is precisely the conclusion reached by Losurdo, who writes that in Calhoun, 'we are dealing with one of the major authors and great minds in the liberal tradition and pantheon.'"

I take his work with a grain of salt but at least it's good as the maximalist iteration of a certain strain of left thought? I don't know if I have faith in the underlying impulse anymore but he is at minimum entertaining
