It is dangerous if people think of our liberal democracy as a baseline condition of society, its administration as bad as it gets. Our society is a complex clockwork, much easier to destroy than to fix. The baseline condition is civil war.
This is what it looks like to someone who thinks that the "freer society" is not collapsing all around us. From the perspective of the engineers running China, and who hope to still have it run in 2000 years from now, it might seem different?

I don't think that you are free to just pick the interpretation you like. Map the space of possibilities and assign probabilities. I think it is ...not fully unlikely... that liberalist pluralist society's ambitions are currently failing.
