Democratic values were already under threat around the world before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Now we need to rekindle the spirit of 1989

Some choice bits in here. Real enlightened centrist/ western chauvinist vibes.

"Foucault argued that shadowy elites used the language of science to mask domination of marginalised groups," like fuck dude don't bring a mirror into the panopticon

    Many progressives feel that liberal politics, with its debate and consensus-building, is too slow and has grievously failed to address the economic and racial inequalities that have emerged as a result of globalisation.

    Oh yeah, that's why liberalism is slow at fixing economic inequality, because of debate and consensus-building. The working class must simply keep debating the capitalists until a consensus on wealth redistribution has been reached. We'll get there eventually!
