Repeat after me:

“Liberalism* is a philosophy of consolation for Western civilization as it commits suicide.” (James Burnham)

“Liberalism* is a philosophy of consolation for Western civilization as it commits suicide.”

“Liberalism* is a philosophy of consolation for Western civilization as it commits suicide.”

*”Liberalism” I take in Burnham’s context to mean the modern leftism that rejects true classical Western liberal views that honor freedom of speech, plurality of thought (within a unity of culture) and the values individual liberty and private property. Modern “liberalism”–so-called–embraces none of those values, among other classical Western liberal values.
