    #LiberalDemocracy is broken beyond repair.
If we want our polities to remain (really) liberal and democratic, we need to radically and drastically minimize the role of big money in politics, media and public life.
#Courts are the major obstacle to any attempt in #democratising work and society

            Populism is eroding liberal democracy from within, challenging institutions and rights. Its survival is on reform, inclusion, and resilience.

    Also just to be clear: defunding the police was absolutely the right move. It should've been promoted differently, but police budgets are out of proportion while every other service is being cut. What's insane is that basic notions of liberaldemocracy are being passed off as insane radical agendas.

    While I agree, I also think it was a disastrous missed opportunity for the West to go ahead with shock therapy "reforms" without tying it to anti-corruption. It enabled the worst of the worst of the oligarchs and FSB mafiosos and left ordinary Russians disillusioned with free market liberaldemocracy

Unable to grasp that, as soon as #capitalism doesn't need #liberalDemocracy as an alternative to old and future systems any more, it'll go all the way towards pure #plutocracy
