    Reports of the demise of liberalism are greatly exaggerated. Cole & Craiutu show that liberalism "first died in the late 1870s, then died some more at the turn of the 20th century, and has been dying almost continuously since 1920." https://aeon.co/essays/reports-of-the-demise-of-liberalism-are-greatly-exaggerated … via @aeonmag

        Well then can we ask that the liberals please take back the Democratic party from the Marxists (aka socialists) now in charge?

        What are some of the socialist economic policies that you think should die? I'm trying to understand what is considered a socialist economic policy.

        Liberalism is not dying. On the contrary it is reaching its apex. What remains to be seen is the sustainability. Nature will have the last word as always.

        Conservatives control all levels of government, and there appears no end in sight.

        You and I are defining the term "liberalism" in quite different ways.

        In the 1870s and 1920s was there a civilizational experiment with population replacement through immigration from radically less liberal societies?

        Liberalism perhaps promises less but delivers more!

        Given that natural selection "doesn't care" about individual organisms, isn't it rather surprising that any liberal society emerged anywhere? It might be a rather unstable arrangement.

        Confusing Liberalism with the spread of wealth from the consumption of fossil fuels. AFIK we gave up on democracy in '92, Keynesianism in '08, and cosmopolitanism in '12, and the postwar model in '16. You are trying, but a disconnect between your correlations and econ incentives.

        Democrats just need to die off and let sane people in charge.
