but the terms have got so mixed up now, as to mean so many different things. i think its because here tuomas, we wouldn't really use "liberal" in the way its used in america, on social issues and such, so liberalism takes on a more economic role here, hence its economically right-wing origins, as an opposite to socialism

the other thing is, liberalism isnt really used as a term in the UK (and, even more confusingly, the liberal democrats of today, though descended frmo the whigs, are actually the party the most opposite to the laissez faire whigs they came from!)

Certainly, the American democrats would be "centrists" or even "left-wing rightists" in Finland. But we're a highly social democrat country anyway.

European economic liberalism was often imposed from above and often came to grief, i.e. Law under the Régence or the utter failure of German liberals to unite in 1848. Where in all nations working men and women started to clamor for illiberal solutions to the systemic problems inherent in capitalism, the original American liberals, who had been agrarian populists and small 'mom and pop' entrepreneurs (too bad the French don't have a word for that) favored ameliorative solutions whereas the more 19th century social darwinist/industrial plutocrats thought the system was just fine. In Europe, where state planning had been made hugely more necessary during the Great War, liberals started losing out to Socialists even toward the end of the 19th century. Many marxist and socialist parties assimilated the personal liberty progressive aspects of liberalism and soon it was only associated with laissez-faire economics in Europe.

I don't think it's fair to call the Democrats "the agricultural party." After all, the origins of the Republican party lie in "Free Soil."

but, also the decline of hard-left parties, which, arguably has been going on since the mid70s, is also depressing. i saw a communist party car campaigning during the last election in hackney, and all 5 people (in a mini!) were aged over 70.
that said, i guess the existence of the socialist alliance is something, and maybe a good deal more practical than the pie in the sky communist parties and leagues that littered the 60s in britain (and whose unchallenging allegiance to either stalin or mao cost them much support in wider circles)

Michael - for starters: "The Republican Party grew out of resistance to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which overrode the Missouri Compromise and allowed slavery to spread into Western territory by popular sovereignty. "Anti-Nebraska" men included anti-slavery Whigs, Democrats, Free Soilers, reformers, and abolitionists."

The conservative revolution sell the neoliberalism label, getting back to 19e s. manchester liberalism. The force of this neoliberalism is that it's applied by socialists (it'S a year 2000 interview I think): schroeder, blair, jospin, are evoking socialism to do neoliberalism, so this makes the analysis and critic difficult: everything is upside down.
Grass then said it makes the state deprived of power in such a way anarchists would never have dreamt of :-> he never would have thought arriving at a point in his life to reclaim more State so they can do their regulatory role... to that Bourdieu said , well, this flip can seem to paradoxaly bring them to defend stuff that is not completely worth defending but they are not condem to getting back at simply "more State" but rather, encourage to invent new state! Thought that was inspiring, and friendly to an anarchist vision of economy like parecon.
