Autocracy, Inc.

[ndrosen]

I recommend going to https://www.theatlantic.com and looking for Anne Applebaum’s article, “The Autocrats Are Winning.” For a time it seemed that freedom was expanding, but now the world’s autocrats have found ways to defeat movements for freedom, and to cooperate with each other. Authoritarians with different official ideologies have found common ground in the desire to stay in power and continue looting their respective countries.

The article isn’t pleasant reading, but it demands attention, especially considering that tyrants and kleptocrats seek to expand their influence over the remaining free societies.
