    Fuck the liberal hegemonic order. Even if a liberal hegemony is theoretically “better” or “preferable” to other hypothetical hegemonic orders, that is not a justification for the existence of hegemony itself. Many of us who want to see the liberal hegemonic order abolished want that not because we want to see it replaced with another hegemonic order (like, for instance, a Marxist-Leninist/Maoist hegemonic order), but because we want hegemony itself abolished, and replaced with a democratic order, in which the nations of the world collaborate, cooperate, and strive for peaceful coexistence.

      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?
