It's a pretty straightforward question.

My opinion is that it does in some way, as the liberal ideal is utopianism and an understanding of history makes it all the more clear that man is an imperfect thing and not able to be made perfect

Thoughts?

WTF?!
Don't label me. I'm not liberal. I'm not conservative. I'm not any motherfucking label.


That being said, the TTU History department had both admitted communists and admitted neo-(almost)fascists.


::EDIT::
Wow, those of you trying to think you understand both History degrees and Poli Sci degrees, without ever studying the fields, are way off the mark.
I'll add more when I get back.
