Summary/Abstract: The new barbarians of liberal democracy […] were the products of the West which at a certain stage of its history turned against its own culture; the respect for its achievements was gone, being replaced by contempt, and the rules of civility and propriety derided. To put it simply, the vulgarity of the communist system was pre-cultural while that of liberal democracy is post-cultural.
