Russian disenchantment with Western liberalism has produced a worldview hostile to end-of-history triumphalism. The rise of this ideology may be another sign of liberalism’s decline, but its tenets set it at odds with liberalism’s socialist critics.
How can an Amerikan who’s supposedly a leftist journalist write something like that when their own supreme court is openly planning to wreck the last vestiges of even the flimsy bourgeois pretenses of democracy in the US? How is it “le evil populism” to criticize that 6 unelected ghouls singlehandedly roll civil rights back to the state of 1776 when there’s a popular two-thirds majority for things like abortion?
Edit: nvm this is from a “former” British intelligence officer, ofc he has a different perspective because in his country courts may impair Tories’ ability to genocide trans people.
