Good points here. However, I don’t agree with this: Those who share love and admiration for a pluralizing world must unite across differences of race, class, gender and theology in their efforts to restore our democracy. The author believes in class collaboration. Class is central in the same system of imperialism he is condemning yet he advocate a unity across differences regardless of class. What sort of democracy is a one that maintains class opression? Biden’s characterisation of Putin applies to ‘Neoliberal Ideologies’, too.
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
