Liberalism is not an answer to the rise of xenophobia, white nationalism, and fascism in America. It never has been. It was Franklin D. Roosevelt who put Japanese-Americans in internment camps. It was John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson who gave legitimacy to Hoover’s counter-intelligence programs in order break the revolutionary potential of Black, Brown, and Native liberation movements. It was Bill Clinton who gave teeth to an incarceration system which destroys communities of color. And it has been Barrack Obama who has deported and detained more Latinos than all other presidents combined. Liberalism has always been a reluctant and feckless coconspirator. None of this is a defense of conservatism, it is, as Steven Salaita put it, “an invitation to discover (or create) a politics that doesn’t necessitate dispossession,” to build progressive and radical solutions. 

Well i read only what liberalism can’t do, what do you think will solve all the problems?

Abolish capitalism.
