Yeah, but what are the chances, the "liberal hegemonic order" will be replaced by anything less repressive and authoritarian? Do you think a world dominated by Russia and China will be better?
Exactly.
In fact, what's more likely to happen is that China and Russia go to war to pick the next top dog.
Er, no. Russia is in no position to start another war. China will basically win by doing nothing.
Nukes have entered the chat.
Like I said, I want hegemony itself to be abolished and replaced with a democratic order. I don't want a world dominated by any nation. I want the order based on domination to be replaced with an order based on democracy.
A noble goal. But how are you going to achieve that?
I have no idea. It might not even be possible. I simply wanted to clarify what it is people like me desire for the world.
I mean, I agree in principle. I just don't see how this position translates into anything actionable.
It doesn't. It's not possible. I'm a silly dreamer, nothing more.
We can want a pony, but we are not going to get one without a plan.
I am not a leader or strategist. I wouldn't know how to begin to construct the plan necessary to achieve what I've outlined, assuming such a plan could ever actually exist.
