Me: John Bolton was a dangerous warmonger who made the world a more dangerous place Also me: It's entirely possible what comes next could be worse, knowing Trump, so how much can we celebrate really? Me: Come on, Bolton got fired on Twitter, live a little Also me: lmao fair — PolitiTweet.org

@seanilling I actually had a Fukuyama quote to that effect in a draft of this piece. Everybody misreads that book! — PolitiTweet.org

@astradisastra @henryfarrell @HeerJeet @jtlevy @willwilkinson my ideal practical political vision involves identity-politics inflected liberalism making a grand bargain with democratic socialists to produce a new kind of american social democratic politics, but we're still a bit away from that — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@charlesbeckett it strikes me, more than anything else, as a kind of generational warfare — fear of the youth and their strange ideas — masquerading as a defense of liberalism — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
If any of you thought the work on liberalism was a bit abstract, just wait until you read the other project I'm working on (hint: it involves Deleuze, techno-utopianism, and white nationalism) — PolitiTweet.org

@jtlevy They really aren't, but they're the most visible in the public square. Which is a problem I'm hoping to tackle in (one of several planned) follow-up(s)! — PolitiTweet.org

@qjurecic also a lot of weirdness in hobbes can be explained by the fact that a) he lived through an absolutely vicious civil war and b) he lived in fear of being outed as a non-theist and tried for heresy — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@qjurecic what seems like an argument for absolutism is actually an argument for the rule of law and minimal human rights guarantees. we need to start a hobbes fan club — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@qjurecic this is why i hate when people write hobbes out of the liberal canon because of a questionable reading of the leviathan as necessarily absolutist. dude's proto-shklar! — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@JeffreyASachs That's another important difference, interestingly. Academic communitarians didn't have an actually-existing alternative to liberalism they were willing to defend; right anti-liberals today tout Hungary/Poland/ideas of other right-populists. And left has their own avatars. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@JeffreyASachs I'm not sure I buy that case. Reagan wasn't a left-liberal, but his GOP was philosophically liberal in a way that Trump's is not. And even if we only speak retrospectively, I'm not sure it matters unless you believe the far-right threat is ephemeral. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@JeffreyASachs Another key difference is that the real-world political circumstances are dramatically different, and more hostile to liberalism, than the 1980s were. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@JeffreyASachs I dunno, the key texts in that debate were academic press books and Philosophy/Public Affairs articles. Which explains the (much) higher degree of sophistication, I agree, but also is necessarily less public-facing than what's happening now. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@JeffreyASachs I've actually published an interview with Kymlicka and spoken with Walzer. I also disagree that what's happening now is the communitarianism debate 2.0. For one thing, it's playing out in the public sphere, which has completely different rules. — PolitiTweet.org

@jtlevy Agree that Constant and Smith are both criminally underrated — Constant generally ignored in popular treatments, Smith reduced to "invisible hand" without any of the actual complexity in his thought — PolitiTweet.org
