The Western bourgeois Communists promoting revolution at home and totalitarianism abroad only belie their immense privilege. They simply have no comprehension of the fact that to stand for liberalism and democracy in much of the world is revolutionary act.
They will never understand the suffering faced under dictatorship. They will never understand what it means to have no right to self-expression. They will never understand the bravery necessary to march through the streets when the price for that defiance is death and torture.
Liberal, democratic movements reached critical mass in Syria, Sudan, Venezuela and Hong Kong. In the face of bloodshed, brutality and repression, millions of people rose up to demand the same rights and freedoms we are privileged enough to have in developed Western nations.
There is a line in the sand being drawn across the world as authoritarianism is on the rise and liberalism is in retreat. The lines between Right and Left are becoming ever more obscured, it is the line between freedom and totalitarianism that is setting the global agenda in 2019
Either you stand with the people, or their oppressors. That choice is your prerogative, but just remember this, today it may be their turn, but you should disabuse yourself of the notion that it will never be your neck under the jackboot. Who will be left to speak out then?
