Building a #DualState need not end in #genocide: Vladimir #Putin’s #Russia & #LeeKuanYew’s #Singapore have followed the same model of the dual state that Fraenkel described, though neither has undertaken a mass-killing operation as the Nazis did [Putin has, just not within Russian borders on a genocidal scale]. Their deepest similarity, rather, is that both are intolerant of #PoliticalDissent & leave the overwhelming majority of citizens alone.

"The trouble is that the system requires someone like Lee Kuan Yew at the top — strict and charismatic, as Michael Barr, author of Singapore: A Modern History, told me. 'But no one who has that political skill would ever rise to the top today because that person would be regarded as a threat,' he said."
