Matt McManus then joins, diving right into this attempt to reconcile the systems of liberalism and socialism, first stepping back to unpack some of the less valuable elements of the liberal tradition, largely stemming from emphasis on possessive individualism and “natural” aristocracy, concepts incompatible with the socialist values of equality and solidarity, and working through more progressive conceptions of liberalism, like those of Wollstonecraft, Payne, and Rawls that evangelized concepts of moral equality among humans and saw economic inequality as a fundamental issue, inspiring some of the most important and influential revolutions in history, and challenging the ideas of meritocracy and aristocracy. After an expansive conversation on the compatibility and value of this strain of liberalism with socialist systems and values, McManus wraps up the interview by walking Emma through how a “liberal socialism” would work in the context of the US Constitution, and how it compares to other brands of left politics.
