Patrick Deneen on the rise of post-liberals, a provocative take.

At the New School where I teach, many students embrace a revolutionary left wing post liberalism descended from Marx and Lenin.

Like Steve Bannon (and his libertarian nemesis Musk),they want to “smash the state,” paradoxically by seizing control of the state.

Where do Bannon and Musk fit on Patrick's chart? What about the most militant left wing veterans of OWS and BLM, many of them avowedly post liberal?

Is there any difference between a post liberal and a leader some would call “illiberal?

Good questions to be raised.
