Yet, it remains unclear whether this latest manifestation of liberalism will withstand the struggles America faces abroad and at home. There is a sense among the mainstream that this liberalism has replaced the welfare-oriented policies of previous administrations with policies of radical self-interest. The disaffected fringes, meanwhile, see Kirkpatrick as a confirmation of what they always knew about the American government's real imperialistic designs. If not carefully managed, liberalism could find itself delegitimized at home and abroad.

But Zsa Zsa Gabor doesn't care about any of that. To be a liberal is not about history or grand ideals, it's about image. It's about style. Liberalism is hot girl shit like showing up to a movie premiere in a candy-pink gown and $600,000 worth of ruby and diamond jewellery. Domestically, Zsa Zsa's liberals are those who believe in dunking on generations of stodgy, sexless old men whose idea of American womanhood is captured by church hymns and reruns of "I Love Lucy." In foreign policy, Zsa Zsa liberals are about crushing the hand of the military-industrial establishment in favor of cocktail diplomacy and sexual liberation. We might not be able to bomb our way out of this Cold War horror show but, God damn it, we can make ourselves look good while it lasts.▼

Nikolai Bukharin was once a broken man. Having spent twenty years in the Siberian tundra, he searched for answers to questions he barely knew how to ask. One fateful evening, he came across a strange crystal that granted him a vision of a society founded on one, central principle:▼

Harmonic Communism is an idealistic ideology that blends elements of Bukharinism with the idea that friendship is the praxis by which a socialist society is achieved. Followers of Harmonic Communism believe in the {{color|#FF5555|magic of friendship}}, where every conflict in all levels of society is solved through mediation and not violence. The ideology strives to implement a society in which conflicts are a thing of the past, and in which everyone in the state lives happily with one another through the power of friendship.▼
Followers of Harmonic Communism do still believe in class conflict, but they believe that it can be overcome in ways other than a violent revolution. Through the power of friendship, they believe they can break down class barriers and allow for the dictatorship of the proletariat to naturally form from the peaceful mediation of the workers' struggle. While many may see this as hilariously unrealistic in its idealism, Nikolai Buckharin has proven his ideology to be both surprisingly successful and attractive to the weary citizens of Russia. Soon, harmony and socialism will be spread throughout all of Russia, and even, eventually, the world▼

To be a member of the US Democratic Party is to be part of a grand liberal tradition, passed down from one generation to the next. It is to be the inheritor of Madison and Jefferson's belief in the need for constitutional, democratic government. It is to be the standard bearer of Wilson's internationalism and support for robust institutions. It is to be the defender of the welfare state put in place by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and expanded by his successors Dwight D. Eisenhower and Estes Kefauver. The modern American liberal is the culmination of all these figures—a stalwart defender of civil rights, equality, social justice, and a regulated market economy. They look toward the future while firmly rooted in the traditions of the past.
