and of course it should be pointed out to our Tidewater bro (whose profile claims he is 27, but I choose not to believe that) that a) there is a significant intellectual cadre at the Atlas that has argued opebo is not left-wing at all, but far-right; and b) American liberalism itself is center-right and was "never intended to be a left wing" as Chris Hedges put it.  when its modern form was born out of the progressive middle-class reformist movement it acted as a mediator between the bourgeois that owned the society and the syndicalists that were firebombing timber factories.
