From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.
Despotic leaders do not rule alone; they rely on political allies, bureaucrats, and media figures to pave their way and support their rule. The authoritarian and nationalist parties that have arisen within modern democracies offer new paths to wealth or power for their adherents. Applebaum describes many of the new advocates of illiberalism in countries around the world, showing how they use conspiracy theory, political polarization, social media, and even nostalgia to change their societies.
Elegantly written and urgently argued, Twilight of Democracy is a brilliant dissection of a world-shaking shift and a stirring glimpse of the road back to democratic values

First step is to drain the swamp… as them Americans say. Crazy how corrupt the DNC, FBI, FIZA Courts and such have been. That Barak guy literally turned the USA into a 7 war surveillance state run by a rigged bureaucracy. With Trump failing to actually crack down, things are hardly getting better. Thank Buddha for AG Barr!!

Awesome, thanks Satre.
Barr, hahahahah…. his version of the Unitary Executive == King

Don’t lose hope, folks. Liberal democracy was said to be moribund during the last century, with fascism/Marxism as the sanguinary wave of the future. We saw all of that authoritarian evil into the grave/garbage can of history.
It’s also critical to distinguish betwixt different forms of nationalism. Particularly civic and racial. Civic nationalism is crucial for the proper functioning of democratic institutions, as it facilitates public service.

Amy Chau’s World on Fire delved into nations that were ruled by an ethnic minority. Is that fair and just? Does the ethnic majority not have right to advocate for well-being of their people? If a wealthy group learned that it is cheaper to buy all the politicians then change the will of the people is it still a democracy?
Ms. Applebaum probably fails to mention that her ethnic group is the recipient of the status quo she advocates for.
When the state in a “democracy” regularly ignores the will of the people and actually seems to dislike them, how can you “clean house” without taking down the entire system?
Trump was only the first step. He failed to deliver and will probably not be reelected. Appplebaum fears the next popular leader of white America.
