The Complexities of Liberalism

This chapter explores the inherent coercion in political doctrines, focusing on the distinctions between political and comprehensive liberalism. It argues that while comprehensive liberalism allows for greater pluralism, it still imposes views, contrasting with the often unrealistic ideal of political liberalism. The discussion highlights current societal shifts and disillusionment with liberal tenets, examining the motivations that drive individuals toward leftist movements in a polarized political climate.
