A.C. Grayling and the Overthrow of Democracy

"...even one mile in the direction of any of their various paradises-on-earth would be a hell for all but those running the journey."

Philosopher A.C. Graying recently supported the recent right-wing nationalist attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government of Turkey through a legal challenge.
