The implementation of the leftist utopian visions that torture and murder and silence and "re-educate" millions and send millions more desperate refugees fleeing out to die at sea in little, overloaded boats trying to escape is not usually described as "liberation" by those, such as my family and many friends, who managed to survive these visionaries.

What do you make of the current state of culture in the West?

One can't help but be reminded — perhaps that was your intention? — of the classic quip attributed to Gandhi:

   Journalist: “What do you think of Western civilization?”

   Gandhi: “I think it would be a good idea.”
(Though Quote Investigator concludes at least the attribution is probably apocryphal: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/04/23/good-idea/ )
If we look at how the things are evolving, the left might be planning another "liberation".
