"One reason that was given for the Indian left’s ‘tendency’ to measure the USA and Russia by different yardsticks was a stated preference for what used to be called ‘multipolarity’ over ‘unipolarity’.
For some of us, the nature of global Capital made this hair-splitting between ‘multi’ and ‘uni’ seem always a bit abstracted from actual reality, but the Indian ‘left’s’ fascination with metaphysics would have it otherwise.
But even given this fealty towards a metaphysical understanding of geo-politics - now that the world has finally realised the long cherished ‘unipolar’ fantasy of a Russian puppet ensconced in the White House, why shy away, at least now, from a critique of ‘actually existing unipolarity’."
