Short answer is --- "Yes", hstory shows that reality has a liberal bias. Historically, "societies that waste human capacity through exclusion and conflict" end up poorer as a result. And the proof is smacking you up the side of the head as we speak. "America First" (aka Israel First) is about regressive isolation, threats, intimidation, open conflict, increased taxes (aka "tariffs") and economic contraction. Deny it…

The history leans to the left is the core underpinning of communist parties everywhere, hence the coopting of the term progressive and progress.

The role of the communist party wherever it resides is to accelerate the historical forces to the proletariat utopia they believe lies at the end of history.

This is of course ridiculous, there is no end state of history, other than everyone died.

And of course the author confuses liberalism with the left as many in the Anglosphere do, mostly because they have lived in places where the "left" party is usually some sort of social democrats at their most extreme.

Any confusion is obviously yours --- "America First" is not only bad policy but also failed rhetoric that was blatantly ignored by the promoter in chief.
