"Liberalism would like to be the ideology that transcends the categories of right and left, indeed pulverizing ideologies and presenting itself as something beyond them. Its totem is the market and its natural habitat, its horizon is capitalist society, which does not get on well with conservative movements, but definitely does not get on well with left-wing statist models. If, on the other hand, we move to the level of customs, family, and civil rights, then the liberal spirit is more to the left, but it borders on the radical."
