Why are empires failing?

The world is being shaped by three power blocs: the USA, Russia and China. Their politics look very different, but I argue in this video that they have something profound in common. They are all built on division.

America’s founding constitutional promise of equality was never universal. Marxism defines justice through conflict between classes. Neoliberalism claims wealth is merit and poverty is failure. All these systems end up privileging some people, excluding others, and turning difference into justification for domination.

That is not sustainable. If we want a stable world, we need a politics of inclusion, not exclusion. We need a politics of care. And we need the world’s “middle states” to embrace it, because good ideas are the only real counterweight to imperial power.
