Is Liberalism Dead?: Lakshmi Chaudhry of Alternet interviews Adam Werbach of the Sierra Club and the Apollo Alliance on the relevance of liberalism today.
“When I talk about fulfillment, I’m really talking about something I want to believe in and fight for. It should be a powerful antidote to fundamentalism, be as powerful as fundamentalism is to people. It should be unchallengeable in the way liberalism was in the post-Depression era.
“I’m trying very hard not to go all the way into this. I see this as the winter of liberalism. We need to first accept that the liberal project is dead. We need to achieve that so we leave space for something else to grow. Progressivism is almost just a placeholder for what hasn“t been created yet. “
