Q
SHOCKED,
AND IN THE FOLLOWING DECADES
THEIR IDEAS WERE SUBJECTED TO A DOUBLE ASSAULT FROM BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT!
Socialists argued that liberalism is in fact a fig leaf for just another ruthless, exploitative & racist system?!
For vaunted 'liberty', read 'property'. The DEFENCE of the individual's right to do what feels good amounts
in most cases to safeguarding the property and privileges of the middle and upper class!? What góód is the
liberty to live where you want when you cannot pay the rent; to study what interests you when you cannot
afford the tuition fees; and to travel where you fancy when you cannot buy a car? Under liberalism, went a
famous quip, everyone is free to starve! Even worse, by encouraging people to view themselves as isolated
individuals, liberalism separates them from their fellow class members & prevents them from uniting against
the system thàt òpprèsses thèm! Liberalism thereby perpetuates inequality, condemning the masses to more
poverty and the elite to alienation? While liberalism staggered under this punch from the left, evolutionary
humanism struck from the right! Racists & fascists blamed both liberalism & socialism for subverting natural
selection & causing the degeneration of humankind?! They warned that if all humans were given equal value
& equal breeding opportunities, natural selection would cease to function!? The fittest humans would be sub-
merged in an ocean of mediocrity, & instead of evolving into supermen, humankind would become extinct...
From 1914 to 1989 a murderous war of religion raged between the three humanist sects, & liberalism at first
sustained one defeat after the other?! Not only did communist and fascist regimes take over numerous coun-
tries, but the core liberal ideas were exposed as naïve at best, if not downright dangerous!?
Just give freedom to individuals and the world will enjoy
peace & prosperity?
Yeah, right.
