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.”

I really enjoyed watching these. Probably my favorite sentence:

“Governments can only be established with the consent of the people! Terms and conditions apply: often not available to slaves, women, indegenous americans or anyone who doesn’t own property. Side effects innclude slavery, genocide, colonials and imperialism.”
