Full Idea
The two core liberal mistakes (according to communitarians) are that people choose their values, and that they do so in some way detached from their communities.
Gist of Idea
Liberals mistakenly think individuals choose their values, without reference to the community

A Reaction
I think I might be a communitarian liberal, meaning that extreme individualism is both incorrect and pernicious, but that communities should only exist to promote the varied lives of individuals within them.
