As a long time independent democratic socialist I can never idealize ANY nation-state . An honest student of world history will understand , for example , that for all their good points there is nothing " special " about Imperial America or APARTHEID Israel . China's Xi Jinping is right to assert that the world of the 21st century is too big for one dominant super power.
Some years ago Russia's Vladimir Putin gave us a perfectly respectable lecture on our own arrogance in believing that WE , " OUR democracy " has some special mission to save or police the world. To be sure , WE THE PEOPLE will not tolerate a nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia. And " communist " ( not according to MARX ! ) China has as much claim on Taiwan as my state of Rhode Island has on Block Island . But where oh where are the voices for world peace now in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ?
