Critique of Rulesianism and Political Liberalism

The speaker expresses skepticism about traditional rules-based liberalism, arguing it often fails to address contemporary political issues, particularly the rise of far-right movements. While the speaker acknowledges the appeal of egalitarian liberalism, they believe that it does not fully capture the urgency of the current political climate. Instead, a new approach that recognizes the severity of oppression faced by marginalized groups is necessary. This reflection leads them to engage with the book 'Politicising Political Liberalism' which critiques the conventional liberal norms and stresses the importance of engaging actively against right-wing populism.
