Show Notes
<html><p>This, as it says on the tin, is a show about liberalism. But teasing out what that term means can be challenging. Not just because it's philosophically complex, but because common usage of terms doesn't always conform to rigorous conceptual categories, and even when it does, language evolves.</p><p><br/></p><p>That's the jumping off point for today's conversation. My guest is <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/sjshancoxli.bsky.social" target="_blank">Samantha Hancox-Li</a> and she's <a href="https://www.patreon.com/sjshancoxli" target="_blank">a writer</a>, game designer, and associate editor at <em><a href="https://www.liberalcurrents.com/author/samanthahancoxli/" target="_blank">Liberal Currents</a></em>.</p><p><br/></p><p>We discuss what it means to be liberal, and how that's distinct from being a progressive. Then we talk about what liberals can learn from progressives, and where progressives sometimes go wrong in matching their political actions to their values. It's a conversation about political engagement, political rhetoric, and the right way to change the world.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Want to listen to new episodes of </strong><em><strong>ReImagining Liberty</strong></em><strong> two weeks early? </strong><strong><a href="https://www.reimaginingliberty.com/" target="_blank">Become a supporter</a></strong><strong> and get early access and other perks.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><em>Produced by </em><em><a href="https://landryayres.com/" target="_blank">Landry Ayres</a></em><em>.
