Lib Prog againstism

 "To brutally simplify things for the sake of brevity, the notable feature of many PMCs as political actors is a blend of political liberalism and cultural progressivism, merged with a political project aimed at increasingly subsidizing their own reproduction as a class, ideally by means of state transfers. The state should forgive student debt. The state should dabble in reparations. The state should hire ”ideas people” to write up reports and thinkpieces about reparations. The state should create new racial justice commissions, or just generally create more jobs that can employ people who by dint of belonging to this class feel that them taking a job at Walmart means that capitalism has failed and it’s time for a revolution."

 I support Gradualism  AND: The first neo-libertarians used the term in response to the Iraq War.

Another key difference is in regards to domestic policy, where neoberts are strong advocates of incrementalism , i.e. making many small changes over time. By contrast, mainstream libertarians tend to advocate for drastic, almost-immediate policy changes. Despite getting along better with    Neoconservatism , they have arguments with them as well. Where neoconservatives

  Off-Compass Libertarian Left Outer Leftism Ultra Leftism   Radical Left     Culturally Extreme Left  (like  Trans Marxism Leninism Maoism )     Post-Post-Leftism (like this , this )   Post-Post Left Anarchism For my part, on a critique of the left, I take a more post-modern approach to it and seek to move beyond the left into the left, creating a new left for myself, and myself alone. I have a similar critique to other post-leftists when it comes to the left, but I see the fundamental ideals of the left as salvageable, even if the rest of the defining features of the left must be abandoned and destroyed, which is why I see myself as creating a new left in addition to leaving the left behind and no longer being a part of the left. To do this effectively, the left, and, indeed, post-leftism, needs to be fully deconstructed. When it comes to ideology, I see it as inescapable, with the critical-self-theories being ideologies, with many of the problems that come with ideologies coming wit
