El liberalismo herido

January 6, 2021 - A populist tsunami hits the US Capitol Hill. The picture of a human buffalo presiding over the House of Representatives confirms that liberal democracy is in danger. This image is the consequence of others brought by a deeply illiberal 21st century. The Boeing crashing into the Twin Towers; Lehman Brothers executives leaving offices and streets deserted by the curfew decreed with the pandemic with their boxes. Three successive crises that make us feel devoid of security, prosperity, health and confidence in progress. The impotence of liberalism in the face of the challenges of the century makes it appear wounded in the face of populism while authoritarian nostalgia grows in democracies. Faced with this situation so adverse for freedom, José María Lassalle proposes a renewed and critical liberalism that rejects the selfish individualism of a neoliberal ideology hybridized with fascism, as embodied by Trump and the alternative right that emerged from the Tea Party. The liberalism of the 21st century must be a new collaborative humanism, open to alliances with those who want a hospitable and generous democracy that fights against the hatred and polarization propagated by the Reactionary International. In addition, he defends a technological humanism that prevents the neoliberal authoritarianism of Silicon Valley from materializing in the West a Cyberleviathan based on Biggest Data unleashed by covid-19. A digital humanism that helps to ethically design a Cyberdemocracy.
