Are we reliving the 60s crisis of liberalism? Unfurl the complexities of this era and contrast it with today's political climate in our latest episode of VarmVlog. We glance back at the rise of the administrative state, and how it sparked political controversy, then cast an eye on the right wing response and its profound impact on the current crisis of liberalism.The 90s saw a fragmented left, a mishmash of personal interests and identarian politics - but what held them together without a collective narrative? We wade through the dynamics of the left movement and the challenges it faced, from the culture of narcissism to the fall of the Soviet Union. As we delve into this, we also discuss the attempts to control the Democratic Party and the emergence of Atari Democrats, offering a fresh perspective on the evolution of leftist politics. Fast forward to the present, the Republican Party is not what it once was. We explore how the party's evolution, the changing immigration policies of the 80s, and the fragmentation of Baby Boomer culture have shaped today's crisis of liberalism. As we conclude our journey through time, we shine a light on the contemporary debates within the left and the impacts of the revival of the People's Party.
