Politicalization in Liberal Democracies

This chapter examines the complexities of political influence within liberal democracies, critiquing the contradictions between the claimed spontaneity of social interaction and the reality of political control. It explores how ideologies like multiculturalism and consciousness-raising serve as tools for homogenization, leading to the marginalization of diverse identities. The discussion highlights the parallels between liberal democratic practices and authoritarian controls, revealing how the push for political correctness mirrors oppressive tactics historically associated with communist regimes.
