Andy Burnham's aim to 'end forty years of neoliberalism' is the right one - so how can it be achieved? LSE's @andreacapussela.bsky.social thinks that Schumpeterian theory might help us find out. www.compassonline.org.uk/a-suggestion...

Cas Mudde@casmudde.bsky.social · last mo.With some delay, my op-Ed on the dramatic Saxony-Anhalt election. It is high time we focus our political struggle on strengthening democracy, rather than merely weakening the far right. To do this, we must show realism, resilience and restraint.

The AfD’s win in Germany is a dark day for Europe. Time is running out to stop the far right | Cas Mudde
This party is among the most extreme in Europe. To protect our democracies, liberal parties must urgently change their tactics, says Cas Mudde, author of The Far Right Today

The liberal view of freedom – non-interference – is hegemonic, and sounds obvious. I think 'its implications raise tall normative and rhetorical obstacles to progressive reform — and entail that liberal socialism, taken literally, is a contradiction in terms.' www.socialeurope.eu/isaiah-berli...

I conclude thus: 'the republican-Schumpeterian synthesis offers progressives a coherent basis on which to build attractive and realistic programmes of reform, which could defeat both the demagogic right and neoliberal conservatives.' www.socialeurope.eu/isaiah-berli...
