Yeah I too think the best way to combat antidemocracy is by violent police action on student protestors.

And then whine about how "democracy" is on the ballot, of course.

Here's to the new us.

I assume this article points that Western democracies are increasingly failed states incapable of providing for their citizens' basic needs and becoming less representative while autocracies are doing the opposite, right?

It’s because, ironically in light of the Tooze thing, they refuse to connect politics to economics, since in their ideology politics is not a process that determines the allocation of resources within a society, the market does. Politics does nothing, really, it’s removed from material reality.

So differentiating “Democracy” and “Authoritarianism” can only be about aesthetics, and I suppose process - but the process of what is also waved away, since it would include material distribution. Remember in their minds you can’t, or ”shouldn’t” distribute resources democratically either. The people can vote on everything except food and shelter.

Neoliberalism killed their precious liberal capitalist democracy because on top of hollowing out all the institutions and everything, it’s just a pantomime of politics and people have no reason to participate in, or care about, it.

It’s why Biden is the perfect man of the moment because it shows that nothing matters, there is no politics, there’s no democracy, there’s not even an executive.

The obvious solution is to say you're blowing the whistle on Boeing, but then also say you have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton. That way, the kill teams will fight each other over who gets to kill you.

Democracy is when you get to vote but the actual policies implemented are statistically uncorrelated with your preferences regardless of who you vote for

oh sorry that's a minimalist interpretation

Democracy also should include guarantees of human rights that exist only while being used as cudgels against state enemies and conveniently stop existing otherwise, and guarantees of civil liberties that exist to enable fascists and stop existing nanoseconds before a police baton impacts a student's head
