“There are two senses in contemporary usage. One is a self-conscious intellectual movement of the right that believes that liberalism, as a philosophy of economic and moral individualism, is corrosive to both personal and collective well-being and should be replaced with a vision of the ‘common good,’ usually defined through a synthesis of conservative Catholic social teaching and nationalism. The other sense describes the general turn on both the left and right away from the liberal consensus of the late 20th and early 21st centuries — often called neoliberalism by its critics — towards other traditions like Marxism or the aforementioned Catholic Integralism. The implication in both usages is that liberalism is not merely being opposed, but transcended in some way: the good things in liberalism, like pluralism and toleration, would be preserved, while the bad stuff, like alienation and class stratification, would be eliminated. It sounds nice. And that’s the problem: It’s essentially a euphemism.” (12/02/25)
