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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Exactly.

In fact, what's more likely to happen is that China and Russia go to war to pick the next top dog.

[–] Diplomjodler3 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Er, no. Russia is in no position to start another war. China will basically win by doing nothing.

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.

[–] Diplomjodler3 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A noble goal. But how are you going to achieve that?

[–] TheDemonBuer 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Diplomjodler3 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I mean, I agree in principle. I just don't see how this position translates into anything actionable.

[–] TheDemonBuer 1 points 3 months ago

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.
