Lex Hoogduin wrote that he believed change was possible, but not in the way that the cabinet and the left envisioned. He advocated for a peaceful classical-liberal revolution with a smaller government, fewer rules, bureaucracy, and civil servants. According to him, the government should free citizens and protect their property, while reducing the tax burden and maintaining a limited safety net for people who faced real setbacks. He also argued for space for a revival of an independent civil society outside of the state, with communities in various fields. #liberalisme #overheid #belasting (translated)

Verônica Domingues stated that she never advocated for nudity as empowering or revolutionary and said that, as a Marxist, she did not consider any individual action capable of promoting a revolution. For her, showing breasts was an expression of sexuality or part of her work with adult content, and no work would be empowering under capitalism. The author said that blaming women for their objectification for wearing short clothes or posting nude photos was misogynistic, and emphasized the importance of consent. Regarding publishing images with a Lula sticker during the campaign, she assessed that this would probably not change votes, but argued that art did not need to have only a utilitarian purpose. Domingues also stated that she used other social networks, including Instagram and TikTok, to raise awareness and bring the left closer to Marxism. She criticized radical feminists who, according to her, treated sex as immoral and scrutinized the bodies of women who consented to appear nude. She also said that the revolution depended on the collective organization of the working class, not on showing or covering breasts. #Feminismo #Marxismo #DireitosDasMulheres (translated)

Eduardo Bolsonaro celebrated Sachsida's statement that he would not privatize Banco do Brasil, Caixa, and Petrobras. He asserted that in a scenario he described as "post-liberalism," each country had its own view on which sectors were strategic, citing JD Vance as an example. Bolsonaro said he did not advocate for statism but believed that energy and the control of sectors capable of boosting the economy and the quality of life for Brazilians should not serve interests other than public ones. For him, the discussion involved sovereignty and the ability of Brazilians to decide their own future and how to achieve their goals. #Privatização #Soberania #Economia (translated)

Lysandre wrote that some people believed in 2026 that the country was bankrupt due to liberalism. He contested this view by citing mandatory levies equivalent to 45% of GDP, public spending representing 57% of GDP, and about half of that spending dedicated to social benefits. https://t.co/V3z1KoAqiE #libéralisme #économie #politique (translated)

“No member state should ever find itself alone facing pressure that ultimately concerns all Europeans.” Stubb, a leader of Nordic liberalism and a keen observer of international balances, had already acknowledged hours earlier in an open microphone that the stability of the “south of Spain” requires exactly the same defensive commitment, the same resources, and the same solidarity as the safeguarding of northeastern Europe. #Defensa360Grados #SolidaridadEuropea #FronteraUnida (translated)

Korson Jussi from Vantaa wrote that the Greens do not attack personally but base their arguments on facts, in his opinion. He noted that the argument used now was, however, the claim of Orpo's duplicity. He described Sofia as a bright intellectual and a proponent of liberalism, and hoped that she would lead the Greens through the 2027 parliamentary elections and even further. https://t.co/f479X3Vmrm #politiikka #eduskuntavaalit #vihreät (translated)

The account Les Mileistes Français noted that David Lisnard was too moderate for their taste and that they would undoubtedly support a more liberal candidate if one existed. However, they deemed that there would be no better option in 2027 and that Lisnard would have a chance, albeit a slim one, to win. The account added that the French were not ready to go further and that they believed Lisnard was sincere in his liberal commitment. According to them, the implementation of Lisnard's program could prevent a catastrophic bankruptcy and steer the country back in the right direction. The account mentioned that they were desperate a few months ago, but that Lisnard's candidacy now gave them a glimmer of hope, while specifying that they believed in it "a little." #Libéralisme #Politique #France (translated)

Francis Fukuyama continues to assert that there is no alternative to Western liberalism, even now that China presents itself as a major player with its own modern course, raising the question of whether history is really at an end. #Fukuyama #westersliberalisme #geschiedenis (translated)

Generation⋅s has also chosen Jean-Luc Mélenchon for the upcoming presidential elections! A clear, coherent, and courageous political decision by Generation⋅s. By choosing to start negotiations with La France Insoumise to support Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy, Generation⋅s has opted not to confine itself to a socialist primary and to face the political reality of the moment. This decision comes in a context where the far right continues to progress and strengthen its political and institutional foothold. In the face of this risk, the division of the left cannot become fatality. It must not also lead to a dilution of the convictions of those who advocate for a profound transformation of our social, ecological, and democratic model. This is also why this decision by Generation⋅s can be considered coherent: it prioritizes the unification of the left willing to break from liberal policies around a clearly identified project, rather than the multiplication of candidacies and competing approaches. In this configuration, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s candidacy appears, for those who defend this political line, as the only one today able to widely unify the left of rupture and offer an alternative to both liberalism and the far right. The danger would be to allow the divisions of the left to further open space for the far right, even as some convergences can be observed between certain right-wing forces and the far right. In light of this situation, building a solid, independent, and popular left alternative is more necessary than ever. So let us commend the decision of Generation⋅s. It marks a choice of political coherence: uniting the left forces that want to break from liberal policies, defend social and ecological gains, and construct a true alternative against the far right. The question is no longer about how to organize yet another primary. It is about how to build, right now, the popular unity capable of carrying a transformative left. #Générations #LaFranceInsoumise #JeanLucMélenchon #GaucheDeRupture #UnionDeLaGauche #Rassemblement #AlternativePolitique #FrontPopulaire #JusticeSociale #Écologie #Antilibéralisme #Antifascisme #StopExtremeDroite #2027 #GaucheDeRupture #Rassemblement #AlternativePolitique (translated)

You women from the center, liberals, vote now for Flávio, let's finish this election quickly and give the left a chance to renew itself. Let's end the cycle of lulism and in 2030 new people will come. Besides, Flávio is handsome. https://t.co/hGFW4Ht2Vn #Eleição2022 #Liberalismo #RenovaçãoPolítica (translated)

For my part, it can take a couple of years to form a new government. For the classical liberal in me, it's like Christmas Eve with a caretaker government: Finally, a regime that lets us be at peace! (And if the security situation worsens, it's safe to keep the current ministers.) #politik #liberalism #regering (translated)

Sarah Knafo ne se présentera pas. Guillaume Kasbarian n’a pas réussi à peser avec son Parti de la Liberté. Christelle Morançais reste à la botte du plus grand des centristes. Charles Alloncle n’a pas reproduit l’exploit. Éric Ciotti n’ose pas dire une vérité qui dérange, il entretient un mensonge facile face aux retraités. Jordan Bardella et son aile vaguement libérale se font écraser par Mamie Coco. Il n’en reste donc plus qu’un : David Lisnard. Soyons clairs, personne n’est assez tronçonneur à nos yeux. Nous voudrions pouvoir décortiquer des programmes de coupes chiffrés, précis et exhaustifs. Nous rêvions d’un candidat aussi fort face aux caméras que devant un tableau des comptes de l’État. Mais personne n’est parfait, personne n’est le Milei français. Alors à partir de maintenant, la course est lancée et nous devons tous être derrière le seul à pouvoir nous offrir un pas dans le bon sens. Que ceux cités plus haut le soutiennent puisqu’ils n’y vont pas ! Que l’union sacrée des libéraux de ce pays se fasse autour d’un seul candidat. Et que David Lisnard devienne président de la République ! #Élection2024 #Politique #Libéralisme

Das liberal-konservative Lager muss endlich verstehen, dass ihnen ihre linken & grünen „Freunde“ bei jeder Gelegenheit mit feinstem Populismus bereit sind, die Augen auszupicken - Lob gibt‘s nur, wenn man linke Mehrheiten ermöglicht.

A ofensiva do Planalto contra as apostas online entra no trending. Usuários acusam o governo de omissão longa seguida de oportunismo eleitoral. Outros cobram o vício, o endividamento das famílias e a publicidade agressiva, sendo que as famílias estão endividadas por culpa do próprio governo. Lula quer transformar regulação — ou restrição — em bandeira antes do primeiro turno. Há um problema real de vício e de publicidade predatória. Há também o cinismo clássico do lulismo: deixa o mercado crescer na sombra, arrecada, depois descobre a vocação moralista quando a urna se aproxima. O Estado que não controla o próprio gasto quer controlar o lazer do cidadão. Liberalismo não é culto ao cassino. É recusar que o mesmo governo irresponsável no Orçamento se apresente como tutor das famílias. Se há regra, que seja geral, clara e não eleitoreira. O que se vê, porém, é palanque: o PT convertendo mais uma pauta importante em mero instrumento de reeleição. É desespero. #ApostasOnline #Regulação #Lula

A verdade é que já somos uma pós-direita. O que, no Brasil, entende-se como direita é a submissão às ideias do mundo anglo. Do liberalismo econômico ao medo da ameaça comunista. O século 20 persiste. A cultura íbero-americana é diferente disso. E temos que seguir por ela. #PósDireita #CulturaIberoAmericana #Brasil

1. Los liberales creemos en la ética: no en la sensiblería barata de cara a la galería que defendéis los comunistas (y que se contradice con vuestra vida privada en cuanto juntáis un poco de dinero). 2. Si tu gobernases, habría listillos (seguramente muchos de ellos familiares tuyos) viviendo con privilegios mientras sus vecinos tienen que pagarlo. Sí, exactamente ESE es el sistema que propones. 3. Un país donde los mayores devoran a sus hijos es un país sin futuro. #liberalismo #ética #futuro

Jag förundrades nyligen lite över Birgitta-liberalernas nya vänner till vänster. Det är alltså där Ohlsson, Thand Ringqvist ets ska söka stöd för idéer om feminism, tolerans och rättsstat. Som om förutsättningarna för liberalt samhälle värnas bäst där. https://t.co/Os5MIK3P9H #politik #liberalism #feminism

- Knafo qui révolutionne la pensée libérale dans les foyers populaires avec le livre le plus vendu de l'histoire de la politique française - Darius Rochebin qui invite le plus grand président libéral de l'histoire pour l'entendre dire en prime time sur LCI que le socialisme est le plus grand poison de ce monde - Hanouna qui fait la promotion de Lisnard avec Patrick Sébastien - Pascal Praud, qui gêné, se sent obliger de parler d'une personnalité "exceptionnelle" à propos de David Lisnard, quant à sa politique libérale LE VENT TOURNE #PolitiqueFrançaise #Libéralisme #Média
