In the fourth title in the Dissident American Thought Today Series,
Chilton Williamson takes on liberalism and reveals the 'faith' of
the present Democratic Party as its own cultivated version of
absurdity. This 'advanced liberalism' is not the liberalism of
Mill, and it certainly no longer is the thinking man's party. If it
were once true that conservatism is unimaginative and reactionary,
the contrary is the picture of our times. Liberalism now asserts
that human nature can and must be perfected, but without reference
to nature. The age of the expert has been thrust upon the United
States with the urgency of technique to be applied to coerce the
vision of a perfect society and perfect human beings.Â
Williamson observes that this liberalism to nevertheless be
collapsing, given the obvious opposition to the idea that it is
essential to modernity. Liberalism is ironically a kind of
unyielding control, "a relativist persuasion that discourages and
resists fixed beliefs and certainties and the idea of truth
itself." Williamson offers commentary on the present state of
liberal ideas and their crimes against better judgment, and
vindicates conservatism from being labeled reactionary. Liberalism
is exposed as a faith we cannot accept, for it contains nothing to
be believed and what it says about the order of things is pure
fiction.Â
