The feasibility of democratic rule in a polity where private interests come before public ones is one of the more insidious yet resilient myths that allows for authoritarian neoliberalism to survive and spread. The political institutions that emerge as a result of transition are essentially undemocratic as not only is their shape imposed on societies externally but also that shape, that is, the transnational state, itself presupposes the loss of democratic control over its functioning. In such conditions, talking of democracy even hypothetically can be equalled to fictitious speculation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine that may appear ideological, ethnic or linguistic are often ideational\/political, effective and manipulated rather than causal, and can be interpreted as structural ruptures necessitated by shifts in the balance of power within and between social blocs, classes and their fractions, which I have documented in the previous section. The true conflicts are class formation and accumulation struggles between foreign and domestic capital, that is, oligarchs, the EU, the USA and Russian business and their indirect engagement in Ukraine\u2019s policy making via various forms of advisory and financial \u2018support\u2019 organisations. The Maidan protests, also, were not ideological but counter-ideological, reactionary movements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;\">\u2014Yuliya Yurchenko, <em>Ukraine and the Empire of Capital: From Marketisation to Armed Conflict<\/em>, (London: <span class=\"\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\">Pluto Press, 2018)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spiegel: US-Pr\u00e4sident\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0hatte seinem ukrainischen Kollegen\u00a0Wolodymyr Selenskyj\u00a0am Freitag versichert, er k\u00f6nne auf die \u00bbunersch\u00fctterliche Unterst\u00fctzung\u00ab Amerikas f\u00fcr die Souver\u00e4nit\u00e4t und Integrit\u00e4t des Landes z\u00e4hlen.
