I'm a Left-liberal, and I will certainly acknowledge that Cancel Culture is a real and growing problem on the Progressive Left, which it must be said has its own Authoritarian temptations. I'll maintain that the threat to Liberalism that Progressive hard-liners pose is just a shadow compared to the real and present danger posed by the new American Fascist Party that is succeeding the GOP; but still it is in principle and in spirit against Liberal ideals. The Weimar Socialists did serve as a very convenient foil for the German Fascists, and we on the Left would do well to learn from history, here.
