Siegel, the liberal, was and remains a social democrat (as opposed to a democratic socialist). That would include Goldwater conservatism, Reaganite conservatism, and Trumpist conservatism. The Crisis of Liberalism: Prelude to Trumpby Fred Siegel (266 pages, Telos Press Publishing, 2020)įred Siegel is a liberal who understands something that too many of today’s liberals fail to understand: that the progressive left is a much greater threat to America-and to American liberals-than is conservatism in any of its political manifestations of recent vintage. As author Fred Siegel correctly observes, it is a top-bottom coalition of the well-credentialed (but not well-educated) upper-middle class and beyond, plus those who work for, depend upon, or otherwise presume to shelter under the benevolent arm of government. Today’s Democratic party is not the party of Joe Biden’s youth or middle age.
