After the municipal elections, the expectations for 2027 are now at the top of the agendas of many candidates and parties. Magazine covers, social networks, and bookstore shelves are filled with confessions, flashes of insight, and proposals. It is not certain that this agitation will generate wide interest, but that matters little because the goal is not that: it is to gather the faithful and gradually shape the market of ideas to impose themes judged favorable to one camp rather than another.
The anti-liberal advocacy discourse of the left fits into this strategy. The economic program of the PS, the discourse rejecting the supposed “commodification” of society, and publications on inequalities all contribute to a dual objective: on one hand, competing with the far left; on the other hand, instilling in minds discourses that will serve as reference points as the campaign unfolds.
Regardless of whether the observations are false: tomorrow, the rest of the political spectrum will be forced to explain why they accept that a greedy market dominates our lives, if they are content with social distress, and if they do not believe that with a little will, it would not be difficult to take money from the rich.
Now, liberalism is by no means a doctrine of exploitation – it is instead a movement of empowerment, in spirit as well as in results. It is a push towards individual autonomy through the pursuit of knowledge, entrepreneurial quest, and exchange. Liberal thought accepts a thousand nuances. Its truth is not revealed, it is constantly unveiled through the clash of analyses. It is an act of doubt and inquiry.
