"We all see “liberal” as denoting a certain cowardice [...] Anarchists see liberals as intellectual and ethical cowards of halfassed analyses and strategies — cowards even of the heart, settling for the most tepid of desires and ideals. But marxists and conservatives tend to see liberals as cowards in the war against their own conscience, cowards in the traditional sense of someone without the stomach for warfare.
These are irreconcilable diagnoses."
@evanarchitective I like rechelon's work, but I think he's unfair to Marxists here. Some Maoists and strict tankies may use 'liberal' in the way he claims, but I'd say most Marxists, and even most MLs, use it in exactly the same sense as anarchists do.
