This paper refuses the idea that (neo-)liberal democracy is the only alternative to the "great regression", the rise of right-wing nationalism. Education for democracy, I argue instead, has to criticize both, the open racism of the "new nationalism" as well as the "cosmopolitan" liberalism that is at the origin of business globalization and a growing divide between haves and have-nots. In order to help building democracy at a worldwide scale, a truly democratic education has to adopt a decolonial global citizenship perspective, as a concrete utopia.
