Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone by Astra Taylor

4.0

Astra Taylor's DEMOCRACY MAY NOT EXIST didn't break a ton of new ground for me, but it was excellent nevertheless in the way it collected and rehearsed left-wing analysis. I loved the series of clarifying questions through the lens of tensions inherent in democracy: coercion/choice, spontaneity/structure, present/future. It felt quick and necessary.
