About This Item
The Baffler Foundation; New York, NY, 2021. 1st. Softcover Magazine. Very Good. Editor: Jonathon Sturgeon. Contributors: Kirsten Weld, Dana Kopel, Zinzi Clemmons, Richard Rhodes, Dale Peck, et al. "The Baffler Magazine, Sep-Oct 2021, No. 59, 'Ill Liberalism.'" The Baffler Foundation, Inc.; New York, 2021. English language. Softcover perfect-bound magazine. 136 pages. Color illustrations. Text clean. Back page has slight ripples. Front cover slightly bows out. Very Good Plus. No ISSN. "DONâT LOOK NOW. Contemporary liberals are summoning an omnium gatherum of dead words and outdated textbooks, dredging up confused accounts of Enlightenment rationality that tend to mutate into smug but underfunded mandates to âbelieve in science!â and calling everything from Bernie Sandersâs speeches to Januaryâs Capitol riot to the global profusion of Black Lives Matter protests âilliberal,â an insult so circular itâs almost vicious.With the election of Joe Biden, this liberal consensus found its politics ascendantâweâre a long way away from the illiberal summer of 2020. But what to do with all this power so over-theorized and underused by the solutions-free left? By this time theyâd lost sight of, or confusedly tried to befriend, their enemies on the right, though the latter continued to grow less and less subtle, as we see in the Trumpification, even now, of liberal pets like J.D. Vance. No, at the climax, liberals got sweaty and confused, âtrapped at the stage of analysis,â as David Berman once wrote, âunable to perform some simple task,â like canceling student loan debt. By its own diagnosis, liberalism was ill. It needed to be ârehabilitated.âIn issue no. 59 of The Baffler, âILL LIBERALISM,â weâll not do that. Instead we anatomize liberalismâs self-diagnosed illnesses, from its preoccupation with the post-Enlightenment idea that âhistory will judge us,â a way of deflecting responsibility for real-time justice in the case of atrocity; to the way it twists international consensus on nuclear deterrence, leaving nations saddled with terrifying weapons that have been used ârepeatedly across the years to threaten and to dominate, though not always successfullyââand one expertâs prescription for âpossibly the only non-destructive way out of the double bind of arms races.âThen thereâs the nearly forgotten history of âcorporate liberalism,â which might help explain why liberals today love to align themselves with progressive causes in order to latch onto and temper the forces of populism, democratic socialism, and antitrust policy, among others. Liberalism has always been, we argue, the politics of businessâall the way back to slavery. And the business of liberalism is making everyone, including liberals, sick.
