  • Which came first, the philosophy, or the Material Conditions?

    In this instance, Idealism predates Liberalism. However, come the foundations of Capitalism out of Feudalism, Liberalism became the new idealist status quo.

    I don’t think it’s quite accurate to say Liberalism is a product of Idealism, but that Capitalism as formed from Feudalism required an Idealist ideology, that being Liberalism.

    So it’s more of a parallel advancement in thought, not that Liberalism came from Idealism and then Capitalism came. That’s a very “ideas focused” frame of analysis.

    Correct me if I misunderstood you and we are saying the same thing.

    For some reason Liberals become Ultras when criticizing Socialists. Liberals get the supreme benefit of careful nuance, contextual analysis, and critical support even in the face of genocide support, while Socialists are endlessly purity tested on vague senses of moralism, rather than Materialist analysis.

    Liberalism and Idealism go hand in hand.

    Do you have evidence for the lie, or is it just vibes? Kinda rude and pointless otherwise.

    You’re seeing Socialist stuff not because of Lemmy.ca, but because of Lemmy. Lemmy was made by Communists, along Communist principles. You’re seeing less Socialist material on Lemmy.ca.

    I recommend finding a niche community focused on something you’re interested in and making that your home. Local feeds are fun and unique, and All feeds show what you aren’t regularly seeing.

    It matters enough to significantly alter your local and all feeds, at least.

    I am of course aware that different nationalities exist in Canada, they are still Canadian. That’s a goofy point to make. Almost as goofy as telling a former resident of the USSR that they aren’t just because they have a positive opinion of it.
