Isnt the end of history a silly idea. The idea that western civilization reached the epitome of development and there are no alternatives comes only from a lack of imagination. Hegel was the one who said this and its absurd that this can ring true for centuries, as if societies have not changed. Liberalism has especially with recent events proved that it upholds racism and white supremacy. There is still a need for radical politics and decolonization.
I loved this piece! Really well articulated. Great paragraph:
"It seems that we really have two choices today: Communist Technocracy with Chinese Characteristics, and Capitalist-Managerial Technocracy with American Characteristics. Even then, China is not metaphysically distinct from western civilisation; they took western civilisation and did it better. It is still too early to tell who will converge to who."
