An excellent piece. Liberalism has always been about defending the "golden liberty" of the ruling classes.

I really like the last line about how liberals talking about property in terms of metaphysical abstractions or as Max Stirner called them "spooks" and use them to defend "actually-existing property systems" which I argue are based on a "will to power" so in a sense all liberalism is fascism at the core.

I'm getting tired of arguing with authoritarians pretending they are defending some higher principle of liberty. Seriously guys it's 2015 and I've been following the political debates online since 2003.

You either NRx or socialist. The middle is dead and it is sad day but the open and honest Fascists are honestly presenting the best arguments not being complete tools or shills.

We have a choice. National Socialism under Trump or International Socialism with Open borders under Bernie. In 2016, you're either a Nazi or Commie. I'm leaning Nazi purely out of self interest as I don't want to Afrikanered or Creoled under Bernie.

Please don't brother talking about racism until you live and work in a diverse neighborhood where not speaking Spanish and being mostly white is clearly a problem.

Most white liberals have no idea what being the minority race is like while a poor white. None. You don't have a clue and that is why you don't understand Trump.
