    Contemporary liberals are age of enlightenment liberals - they value “rationality”. Contemporary conservatives advocate for liberal policies using rationality, but they value libidinality over rationality. Trump communicates through libidinal means, not rational ones. This is a major problem for contemporary liberals who believe they are exclusively vely rational and don’t truck in libidinal politics.

      They believe they are rational and yet advocate history’s most chaotic and hot-headed way to organise production?

        Yes, because profit is a natural phenomenon and maximizing profit is “rational”
