Authentic Liberalism

Liberalism and Democracy pave the way for "whites" to enforce
their racial discrimination
Read the sentences which given bold if you don't have time to
read all the content
[quote]Until then, most social thinkers in the Western tradition
had considered diversity of the sort Powell contemplated not a
condition of citizens' rights but rather an obstacle to them:
"Free institutions are next to impossible in a country made up
of different nationalities," wrote John Stuart Mill in his
Considerations on Representative Government. Mill would have
expected that the more loudly a country professed its commitment
to diversity, the less tolerance it would have for actual
dissent.
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had permitted the
federal government to withhold funding from school boards and
other entities found to have discriminated. The Office for Civil
Rights (OCR) in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare
(later the Department of Education) had been tasked with
deciding when such cutoffs were justified. But within a decade
it had invented a new task for itself that was at some remove
from the one the statutes had given it. The OCR was now writing
detailed standards for racial balance that courts accepted as
grounds for ordering injunctive relief. Those standards were
called quotas in 1970 and diversity after 1990. What is more,
the OCR model was "cloned" in one federal agency after another.
Since repairing race relations was taken as an emergency, the
safeguards that had been in place to prevent abuses in
regulation writing-from traditions of "notice and comment" to
newer applications of the Administrative Procedure Act-were
never applied.
That innovation caused civil rights law to work in a very
different way from laws in the past. For instance, no law
required busing to desegregate schools, and the 1964 Civil
Rights Act seemed to forbid it. But after 1966, the Justice
Department's OCR issued guidelines that set percentage targets
for black student populations and opened the door busing.
Federal courts treated these guidelines as if they were law
itself, and called on lower courts to follow future guidelines,
which could only embolden the OCR. So without the
participation-or even the knowledge-of the broad , non-lawyerly
public, progressive legal projects ricocheted from bureaucrats
to judges and back, growing more ambitious and onerous with each
bounce. A net of regulatory power soon constrained "the conduct
of nearly every employer, school and unit of state and local
government in the country," as the political scientist R. Shep
Melnick put it.[/quote]

What is "notice and comment?"
[quote]Government agencies usually use informal rulemaking
procedures when creating new administrative regulations, also
known as “rules,” or when modifying or repealing existing rules.
This process requires the agency to notify the public of the
proposed new or changed rule, and to accept public comments. The
informal rulemaking process is therefore also referred to as
“notice and comment” rulemaking. Government agencies at the
federal and state level use this process for most rulemaking
actions.[/quote]

Liberal "whites"'s complaining on historical 1960s
"Anti-Democratic America"
[quote]Reading the History of the 1960s it really is remarkable
just how unwilling conservatives were, and still are, to
actually defend any of the institutions they purported to be
"conserving".
White America assumed the 64 civil rights act would end the saga
of racial struggle, the south would have to play fair, the Jim
Crow laws would end, then everyone could finally play by the
19th century liberal rules that had made white America the
richest people in the world...
Instead a system of total control of all private workplaces by
the Harvard educated bureaucratic/legal class was brought in,
communities as far afield as Irish Catholics in Boston were
destroyed in the name of "Desegregation" (Boston never had
segregation)...
And as these massive unconstitutional changes were happening,
Judges deciding who old Ladies HAD to rent the spare rooms in
their own houses to... the dissolution of any idea of private
property, freedom of association, and freedom of speech and
conscious (Political correctness in entirely a result of the
threat of lawsuits under anti-discrimination laws... employers
have to fire employees for 1A protected speech, or judges,
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, will confiscate and redistribute their
property)
...
And instead of attacking this totalitarianism... This farce of a
legal system, this complete usurpation of the entire American
tradition and the idea of individual liberty itself.... [/quote]

How can 1960s Counterculture movement can be called as
"Anti-Democracy".... Seems they more close to Hitlerism. This is
surprising me

Recall on history
[quote]Judging someone’s worth according to performance, as far
as Hitler was concerned, superseded questions of ethnic standing
within the German community. Though many National Socialists
based their world view on scientific research on race, the
government under Hitler also relied on education to realize
human potential. Goebbels wrote in his diary in June 1936, “the
Führer sharply disapproves of the work of all the race
committees." Hitler based his attitude on the potential negative
impact such activities could exercise on national unity.[/quote]
Hitler historically also did anti-democratic action

Recall on Aristotle's political theory
[quote]1301a25 ...Democracy arises from an opinion that people
who are the same in one thing are absolutely the same in all
respects. (One tends to think that the fact that they are all
equally born free means that they are all absolutely equal.)
...[/quote]
[quote]1282b14 ... Goodness in politics is justice ; * and
justice lies in that which tends to advance the public interest.
Common opinion makes it exist in a kind of similarity. Up to a
point, this agrees with the philosophical studies that make up
our conclusions about ethics.* ...[/quote]

What "blacks" did during 1960s not just defeat the American
democracy, but prevent the entire world from got further
colonized by the democratic West. Instead the result was
constant the decline of the West and continuous decolonization
program. World-class prestige
Recall :
[quote]Rightists are the true democrats in that they still hold
to the original definition of the demos. False Leftists, who
favour non-demos people voting also, would be more accurately
labelled as suffragists. Suffragism is thus a way to undermine
(traditional) democracy without abandoning elections. Of course
True Leftists differ from False Leftists in that we would prefer
to openly defeat democracy by ending elections altogether.
Nevertheless, until we succeed in ending elections, we of course
pragmatically prefer suffragism over (traditional) democracy,
which is why we support:

HTML https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2023/05/27/jane-fonda-blames-men-for-climate-change-we-have-to-arrest-and-jail-those-men/
[quote]Hollywood star Jane Fonda made the outrageous claim
Friday that climate change is being caused exclusively by men,
specifically white men, adding that “those men” must be arrested
and jailed.
She also blamed the “patriarchy” and “racism” for global
warming.
...
She also said “poor people of color” as well as populations in
the southern hemisphere will be hit hardest by global warming.
“It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to
arrest and jail those men — they’re all men,” she added,
according to a Deadline report.
...
“It’s good for us all to realize, there would be no climate
crisis if there was no racism. There would be no climate crisis
if there was no patriarchy,” she reportedly said. “A mindset
that sees things in a hierarchical way. White men are the things
that matter and then everything else [is] at the bottom.”
...
She added:
So when I say that I’m fighting the climate crisis, I also
feel that I’m fighting patriarchy and racism. It’s important
because we have to get out of the silos — feminists over here,
environmentalists over here. That’s what I learned when I
started being an activist around the Vietnam War. The more you
go down any issue, whatever it is, you realize that it’s all
connected. And if we solve the climate crisis and we haven’t
solved those other things, we’re gonna be in trouble.
...
Jane Fonda previously offered her theory of climate change
during a January appearance on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show.
“Well, you know, you can take anything -– sexism, racism,
misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war, and if you really get
into it, and study it and learn about it and the history of it
and — everything’s connected. There’d be no climate crisis if it
wasn’t for racism,” she said.[/quote]
Everything Fonda said above is accurate.
More about Fonda:
HTML https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/09/18/how-jane-fondas-1972-trip-to-north-vietnam-earned-her-the-nickname-hanoi-jane/
[quote]She was active in the Black Panthers and marched for the
rights of American Indians, soldiers and working mothers. But
she was advised by other activists to focus her political
energies, deciding to go all-in as an impassioned voice for the
antiwar movement.
...
By July 1972, when Fonda accepted an invitation to visit North
Vietnam, America had been at war overseas and with itself for
years. She went to tour the country’s dike system, which was
rumored to have been intentionally bombed by American forces —
something the U.S. government to this day forcefully denies.
During her two-week stay, Fonda concluded that America was
unjustly bombing farmland and areas far flung from military
targets. North Vietnamese press reported — and Fonda later
confirmed — that she made several radio announcements over the
Voice of Vietnam radio to implore U.S. pilots to stop the
bombings.
...
But the action that still enrages veterans most was that
photograph of her with North Vietnamese troops on an
antiaircraft gun that would have been used to shoot down
American planes. This, probably more than anything, earned her
the nickname “Hanoi Jane.”
After Fonda returned from her trip, the State Department spoke
out against her.
...
Fonda wasn’t deterred. She continued openly to question the
accounts of the U.S. government and American POWs, who told
devastating stories of the torture they endured at the hands of
the North Vietnamese.
“These men were bombing and strafing and napalming the country,”
she said, according to an Associated Press report in April 1973,
which quoted an interview she gave to KNBC-TV in Los Angeles.
“If a prisoner tried to escape, it is quite understandable that
he would probably be beaten and tortured.”[/quote]

Our enemies' critique of Carter reads like a eulogy in our eyes:
HTML https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2025/01/07/the-jimmy-carter-magic/
[quote]Carter’s gift to the world: Islamic lunacy.
Liberals had spent a quarter century bellyaching about the CIA’s
role in toppling their beloved Mohammed Mossadegh and helping
return the Shah of Iran to power back in 1953.
Mossadegh was the sort of authentic Third World dictator the
left admires. Mossadegh may have impoverished his country, but
he was lifey: He cried, fainted, and consulted his two-year-old
granddaughter before making important government decisions. By
contrast, the Shah was pro-Western and didn’t dress like a
clown. He did not threaten to hurl Scud missiles at Israel.
Liberals found him a bore.
To their delight, in 1978, Carter ostentatiously withdrew
American support for the Shah, then stood idly by when, weeks
later, he was deposed by a mob of Islamic fanatics.
Richard Falk of Princeton famously predicted that the incoming
Ayatollah Khomeini “may yet provide us with a desperately needed
model of humane governance for a third-world country.” Carter’s
U.N. ambassador Andrew Young said Khomeini would “eventually be
hailed as a saint.”[/quote]

HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandung_Conference
The Bandung folk:
HTML https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/Asian-African_Conference_Participants.svg/1280px-Asian-African_Conference_Participants.svg.png
The most important part of the conference:
[quote]Major debate centered on the question of whether Soviet
policies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia should be censured
along with Western colonialism. A memo was submitted by 'The
Moslem Nations under Soviet Imperialism', accusing the Soviet
authorities of massacres and mass deportations in Muslim
regions, but it was never debated.[13] A consensus was reached
in which "colonialism in all of its manifestations" was
condemned, implicitly censuring the Soviet Union, as well as the
West.[14][/quote]
Any present-day Bandung revivalism must explicitly name Russia
(and broader Turandom*, including Israel) as the enemy.
(* Returning to the map, I like how Mongolia and even Korea were
not included.)
America, on the other hand:
[quote]For the US, the Conference accentuated a central dilemma
of its Cold War policy; by currying favor with Third World
nations by claiming opposition to colonialism, it risked
alienating its colonialist European allies.[24][/quote]
Alienating the latter is the point!
[quote]Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (D-N.Y.) attended
the conference, sponsored by Ebony and Jet magazines instead of
the U.S. government.[28] Powell spoke at some length in favor of
American foreign policy there which assisted the United States's
standing with the Non-Aligned. When Powell returned to the
United States, he urged President Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Congress to oppose colonialism and pay attention to the
priorities of emerging Third World nations.[29]
African American author Richard Wright attended the
conference[30] with funding from the Congress for Cultural
Freedom. Wright spent about three weeks in Indonesia, devoting a
week to attending the conference and the rest of his time to
interacting with Indonesian artists and intellectuals in
preparation to write several articles and a book on his trip to
Indonesia and attendance at the conference. Wright's essays on
the trip appeared in several Congress for Cultural Freedom
magazines, and his book on the trip was published as The Color
Curtain: A Report on the Bandung Conference. Several of the
artists and intellectuals with whom Wright interacted (including
Mochtar Lubis, Asrul Sani, Sitor Situmorang and Beb Vuyk)
continued discussing Wright's visit after he left
Indonesia.[31][32][page needed] Wright extensively praised the
conference.[30][/quote]
