The language we're left (heh) with in liberal democracies don't account for different conceptions of liberal democracies itself. No one believes in democracy except when it's their version of democracy. This might work in non-diverse societies, but in "nations" with large groups of very different ideas (America), democracy evolves into power/money grabs. Maybe Smith knows this implicitly, but he's writing as if the "other" of the SJW left isn't an outcome of a demographically diverse democratic system. It was inevitable.
