The article argues that with President Trump back in office, conventional liberalism is insufficient to address contemporary issues. It calls for a renewed liberalism that revisits its roots of opposing concentrated power and emphasizing community alongside individual rights. The piece warns against the dangers of Trump's radical policies and stresses the importance of liberalism in challenging power. It advocates for a philosophy that not only supports individual freedoms but also seeks to uplift the disadvantaged, fostering social equity and community concern.
A renewed liberalism must rediscover its most inspiring roots: an energy coming from opposition to the unfair and unrestrained use of power; a commitment to freedom of thought.
With Mr. Trump's radical agenda reshaping U.S. institutions, liberalism's revival is urgent: It is again in opposition and in a position to speak truth to power.
Liberalism is not just an abstract philosophy; it lays the foundation for institutions and systems that have contributed to the heights of human flourishing.
Establishment liberalism is no longer viable. We need a new liberalism that is more faithful to its original values but adapted to our times.
