is it possible to say that liberal democracies haven't failed?
We have seen the moderate gains of the post war era rolled back, while the nation state, governments, trade unions, elections, political parties have all been smashed or co-opted to support the rich at all costs, while the planet has been sacrificed on their altar
The illusion of democracy being effective, fair and remotely in our favour, is gone. The rich will defend themselves with force now. Fascism
