Question for libs

"Liberals demand that the social order should in principle be capable of explaining itself at the tribunal of each person's understanding." Jeremy Waldron


Let me answer what kind of society or nation I would not want to live under: a conservative one. But in truth there has never been a conservative nation because when all you are is reactionary, there is no form or substance without the other. Conservatives are sponges that live off the liberal democracies, social democracies, or democratic republics they live in. Or constitutional monarchy or really any form of government, no conservative formula has ever moved a nation or the world forward, so the question is not relevant.

"Ideally citizens are to think of themselves as if they were legislators and ask themselves what statutes, supported by what reasons satisfying the criterion of reciprocity, they would think is most reasonable to enact." John Rawls
