I don’t regard liberty as a “political aim”. So-called “political aims” are the province of demagogues who seek power for themselves.

That statement is meaningless without context. Without defining the scope and meaning of a term like “political aims” it could mean anything.

It sounds to me like he is saying that the ends will always justify the means for any political goal, and that is pure Alinsky.
