The Reformation was the renewal of classic liberalism and made possible the Enlightment. How’s that for truncated, simplistic, Cliff-Noted, history?

Pretty darn good!

The current day lexicon has turned all that upside down. Today what would have been called classic liberalism is conservatism and what was statist is liberalism. Liberals today do not seek individual empowerment or protections. It is all about sublimating the individual to the group.

“It is all about sublimating the individual to the group.”
