This given by Mark Carvey, Canadian prime minister, in Davos could be an era-defining speech. It’s worth a read.

The West forgave a lot to the US over the course of the years in change for military protection and economic benefits. At the same time, it pitctured itself as the “free world” – a definition which largely exceeds its merits -.

Carvey’s speech (not certainly a communist) pulled off the mask.

“You cannot ‘live within the lie’ of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination”, he admitted.

“And there’s another truth: if great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from “transactionalism” will become harder to replicate. Hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships”.

Hence, he basically advocates for middle powers to seek other allies, apart from the Us.
