Paul Mason - The British Left and the Struggle Between Open Society and Aggressive Authoritarianism.
Putin undoubtedly feared an independent, democratic, and affluent Ukraine on his doorstep, which is compelling reason why he started the war. Rather than a struggle caused by geopolitics, the Ukraine war can, with some justification, be viewed as a fight between the idea of an open society and authoritarianism. Freedom versus tyranny. For Ukrainian freedom and life are synonymous, which helps explain their extraordinary will to resist occupation. For Russians, liberty does not seem to be high up on their list of priorities, favouring perceived ‘stability’ over the ‘chaos’ of freedom. Ukraine –is a nation emerging from the amnesia of history and from under the yoke of centuries of imperial domination and is taking its place as a pivotal territory within European history and politics.
