Philosophy Tube just completed a fantastic video series on liberalism, and I highly recommend it for people wanting to understand the ideology of the status quo.
Part 1 discusses how liberalism contextualizes violence in relation to other ideologies
Part 2 discusses the interconnected history of liberalism and capitalism
Part 3 discusses neoliberalism as an ongoing political trend since the 1980s
Part 4 discusses the major structural flaws inherent to liberalism
“Fascists know that they can count on Liberals to give them the room to groom and recruit… Liberalism exists to justify capitalism.”
This is an excellent series, timed at less than 40 minutes. A must see.
His two part series on the refugee crisis is also really good:
“Liberalism exists to justify capitalism. Left-wing ideologies, like socialism, are incompatible with capitalism. But capitalism is compatible with fascism. And so liberalism slides right a lot easier than it slides left.”
“Capitalism will embrace Fascism over Socialism: lets look at capitalism under some right-wing regimes. ever hear of zyklon B, the gas that was used in the gas chambers in the holocaust? well zyklon is a brand name, not a chemical name: the Nazis bought zyklon b from corporate manufacturers, mainly a company called Degussa, which also processed the gold fillings of a lot of the people who were murdered. Degussa is still running today as a subsidiary of the evonik corperation. Now obviously a lot of capitalist businesses that were run by jews were shut down by the nazis, but a lot of gentile capitalists and rich folk and Liberals slid to the right and supported Hitler because he opposed the socialists who were challenging their profits.”
I just watched all of these and fuuuuuuuuuuuck good learning to be had here, friends.
