It depends on what scales we're talking about. I don't like liberalism. I think liberalism is a stepping stone that will be left behind soon enough. On the scale I'm talking about, any liberal is barely better than a fascist because history has shown time and time again: Republics turn into fascistic dictatorships. It happened to every republic ever since Rome happened.

I would like to move beyond the cycle of Republic -> Empire -> Republic -> Empire we seem to be in. Liberalism and universalism is the one thing that changed since the holy roman empire fell, but it's not enough obviously. There has to be something more than liberalism, and I think it's socialism and collectivism. That's just me though. Liberals are barely better than fascists because they beget fascists.
