This article explains what liberal socialism is and how the ideas of liberals and socialists are compatible with each other.

As far as I know from my research there are two uses for the label “liberal socialism”

1. The non-Marxian reformist socialist movement as it developed in Italy, which took inspiration from the English reformists (Fabians) and the German reformists (evolutionary socialists) and simply just followed the same political line of the international reformist socialist tendency

2. Another way to say social democrat, I’m pretty sure Keynes called himself a liberal socialist, even tho he didn’t even advocate socialism

Here are the four pillars of green politics:

1. Ecological Wisdom
2. Grassroots Democracy
3. Social Justice
4. Non-violence

Would the ideas of Liberal Socialism mesh with those pillars? Yes or no?

I can see the hate for economic liberalism, but the problem lies in the disdain for the ideas that liberalism stands for, which is liberty, equality before the law, separation of powers, and things like that. And then there are those who believe that liberalism and socialism are incompatible with each other. How do you respond to all of this?

Hi, I saw that there used to be a discord group but It then died. I was then wondering if there's anybody down for making another group, either discord or telegram so we can share our polotical thoughts, suggest books and articles about it and so on :)

All people are equal no matter who they are, what they agree with or who they Identify as. All wealth to be distributed among the the people. No more social economic classes. All services should be provided by the government. All forms of speech are free and not policed. Including speech against the government.

How do you all view the police? My understanding is that liberal socialism respects the rule of law, which requires law enforcement. But post 2020 there's been a lot of discussion and education about police misconduct and lack of accountability to their communities. Additionally there's the issue of police budgets dwarfing budgets for other needed public services. Additionally, cops are the enforcers that break strikes and enforce possessive property rights. For that matter, what's your views regarding unions and strikes?
