i think we have to acknowledge that representative democracy is dying. And other kinds of aspirations for for governing ourselves, both reactionary and progressive, are emerging in its place. i also think it's distinctly unsuited to a post national order of things. I just want to say, as an addition to to what nikiland azis have already said, that the complicating feature of the so called new cold war is financialization. Just because we got away with it, or got away from the crisis a few months ago, does not mean it's resolved. It can return.
