Against the Passion for Modernisation

by Ojel L Rodriguez Burgos

“The Left in Anglospheric countries has long been influenced by the belief that these nations’ political practices and institutions are stuck in the past. While much of the world, driven by ideologies such as Marxism, nationalism, and liberal rationalism, has discarded practices and institutions deemed remnants of a bygone era in the belief that such actions are necessary to bring about salvation and a more perfect society, the Anglosphere continues to adhere to ‘anachronistic’ practices, procedures, and institutions. These include the American electoral college, the British monarchy and House of Lords, and various ceremonies — ideologues see them not only as obstacles to their salvationist vision but also as unfashionable and unacceptable in twenty-first-century democracies.” (10/17/24)
