Liberalism-ism

"Liberalism-ism" is a term coined by British conservative politician Douglas Carswell to describe the irrational belief that anything labelled "liberal", "progressive" or "modern" must be inherently right, and anything labelled "conservative", "reactionary" or "regressive" must be inherently bad. He argues that the irrational belief in "progress" towards an imaginary goal has reached such a level that it may be itself termed an ideology; "the irrational belief in the ideology of liberalism", says Carswell in "The Left was Never Right", "has reached the level of an ideology in its own right; "liberalism-ism."
