The good guys won the 20th century. There’s a reason Eastern Europe had to build walls to keep its people in and why South Korea is an infinitely better place to live today than North Korea.
Liberalism is under attack from both sides again, but let’s hope it holds out. There isn’t any other system proven to provide widespread prosperity and freedom.
I get that it must be frustrating to never see the people you support win elections. But this relentless drumbeat against elites that the left indulges in feeds populism just as surely as the narratives of the far right. Undermining trust in our liberal institutions may help bring about a revolution, but it’s unlikely to be the kind you’ll like.
