Liberalism does not deny man’s need for belonging, it just denies that [Patrick] Deneen and [Noreena] Hertz know which collectives we should belong to. Liberalism is not about finding all life’s meaning in a shopping list, it just says that we need more meaning than can be found in a ballot paper. And that those who seek the meaning of life in collective projects the they try to enforce on everybody have less of a sense of the beautiful richness and diversity of human nature than the alleged cold and robotic market liberals.
