#autocracies — Public Fediverse posts

#introduction

Hi everyone,
I’ve spent a lot of time reading discussions around here and finally decided it was time to stop lurking and actually join the conversation.
My interests mostly revolve around #InternationalLaw, #InternationalRelations, #Geopolitics and broader #Security issues. I tend to follow topics related to authoritarian systems, strategic competition and the way global events reshape our world.
I also spend a lot of time trying to understand Russia’s role as a security challenge and the broader issue of how modern #Autocracies operate. I strongly support #Ukraine and believe that defending freedom and democratic values is not only a regional issue, but something that affects all of us. #StandWithUkraine
That said, I’m here more to exchange ideas than to deliver speeches. #Microblogging seems like an interesting place to think out loud, learn from different perspectives and occasionally challenge my own assumptions.
Looking forward to interesting discussions.
Still learning, still curious.

Don’t fall for authoritarian hype. It can be stopped

#Populist #nationalist surge exposes new, unavoidable truth we ignore at our peril: #authoritarian #ethnic nationalism

It's replaced neoliberalism as dominant ideology, giving a world of firsts:

- America 1st
- India 1st
- China first
- Russia 1st
- My tribe 1st

Nationalism explains why world now has 91 #autocracies & only 88 #democracies

It's force behind almost every 1 of world’s 59 border conflicts & civil wars

Trump doesn’t have a desire to take over #Greenland, Silicon Valley has.

This is part 1 of the Silicon Valley billionaires’ plan to take over the whole world.

This is about the #NetworkState. The plan to build pure corporate #autocracies, as the next superpower of the world.

They see the end of nation states and #democracy, and yearn for a world where #corporations rule supreme.

#RepublicOfGeorgia: First year of #Georgia’s ‘foreign agent’ law shows how #autocracies are replicating #Russian model − and speeding up the time frame

Published: March 28, 2025 6:25am EDT

"#Autocracy is on the move worldwide and becoming more resilient.

"One of the driving forces behind this phenomenon is something scholars call '#AuthoritarianLearning,' a process by which autocratic leaders study each other and adapt tactics based on what appears to work, and how to proceed when they encounter #resistance.

"Take Georgia. The ruling Georgian Dream party has steered the Caucasus nation from a path toward democracy back to autocracy – and it has done so by learning from Russia. In particular, it adopted a '#ForeignAgent' law in May 2024 – legislation that came straight from #VladimirPutin’s playbook.

"Sold to the public as increasing #transparency, the legislation has been utilized to persecute Georgia’s #opposition and arrest #dissidents with impunity.

"As researchers examining the structure and effects of autocratic regimes, we view Georgia’s first year of its foreign agent law as an example of how politicians are not only learning the tactics of Russian authoritarianism but improving on them in a shorter time frame."

Trump’s Attacks on Press Freedom Are Paving the Way for #Authoritarianism
A leading global #democracy research institute says democratic “backsliding” must be turned around quickly—warning that after 10 years, recovery is “close to impossible.”
For the first time in more than 20 years, by #2025 #DemocracyReport’s estimate, the world now has more #autocracies (91) than #democracies (88), with liberal democracies (29) now least common regime type.

Trump is testing waters on Ukraine to see how far he can go elsewhere

A ‘win’ in #Ukraine may lead Trump to act in #Gaza, #Canada or #Greenland

Globally #Trump’s focus is cooperating with world’s leading #autocracies & #oligarchies to get #US get richer at the expense of just about everyone else.

In part, this is because the Trump administration is testing the waters to see just how far and how rapidly it can go.

#Autocratic regimes like #Russia are increasingly bold in efforts to undermine norms defining democratic #WorldOrder after WWII

A month after #RussiaInvadedUkraine, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said “this is not about Ukraine at all, but world order”

“The current war is fateful, epoch-making moment in modern history,” he continued. “It reflects battle over what world order will be.”
