Why Is Socialism Treated as a Threat in the West
Socialism does not need to be embraced without critique but should be permitted the breathing space to be debated with integrity rather than instantaneous dismissal. Without that openness, democracy risks becoming a carefully managed performance.
Adia May is a writer and journalist from London whose work focuses on political theory, ideology, and the relationship between belief, power, and media. Her writing explores political ideas and how they mechanically mould everyday life and cultural norms. She is particularly interested in critical theory, Marxist analysis, contemporary democratic discourse and capitalism. May believes that awareness of political and digital literacy is needed in order to combat capitalist regimes and understand the covert operations that work to disillusion the people of the world.
