    Liberalism is largely justification for capitalism, and has been used to justify colonialism. There’s a difference between the whitewashed idea of liberalism, and what it has been used to justify. Fascism is when a bourgeois state faces crisis, and therefore needs to violently assert itself. It’s the logic of colonialism, but domestic and not international.

    As for preventing a line of reasoning, I don’t believe I am, but you are now teetering into race theory. Trying to justify different cultures on genetic differences between people is back to that liberal justification to colonialism.

      But you can find examples of any ideology being used to justify atrocities?

      Either there is evidence for random or even distribution, or there is not.

        Liberalism was created to advance bourgeois interests in overthrowing feudalism, and justifying the new capitalist order. It’s tied directly to colonialism.

        As for race science, it’s bogus and not a real thing.
