For me, a question remains. Following the horrors of the 2 world wars, did the West too hastily discard all forms of nationalism, traditionalism and populism - including its positive social aspects - thus permitting the ugly head of liberalism to emerge (atomization of society, commodification of everything, lack of meaning, etc.) ?
Is liberalism, pushed to its essence, really the optimal end game ?
