(1) Two criticisms of liberalism by communitarianism:

One is wrong (does not conform to reality), the other is bad (undesirable).

Logically these two are contradictory.

(2) Individualism is not only a personal outlook, but also a social outlook. Liberalism does not mean ignoring the meaning and value of community. The key lies in what kind of community it is. Oppose community determinism, see the suppression of individuals by communities, and oppose extreme cultural particularism and the power structure of communities.

eg.sati refers to women sitting on the funeral fire and accompanying their husbands in death alive. Sati means loyalty. Sat is real, sati means that this is a real person and her existence is real. She loved this man so deeply that she regarded his life as her own, and her life had no other direction. But during the British rule, this form of sati was banned.

Sir Charles Napier, then the British Commander-in-Chief in India, responded: "You say it is your custom to burn widows. Well, we also have a custom: if there is a man Burn a woman alive, and we will tie a rope around their neck and hang them up. But beside the pyre, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your customs, and we will follow ours” (see Mark Steyn, Amrica Alone, p. 193).

(3) From organic homology to voluntary homology. Liberalism appropriately reflects modern people's self-understanding and social mobility.

(4) We cannot live without the community, but we can always break away from a specific community. Personal reflection and criticism are still possible, and there is still room for autonomy. We can find resources for moral ideals and life goals in the inter-communal world.
