Krátký popis
All of us have in our minds a cartoon image of what an autocratic
state looks like, with a bad man at the top. But in the 21st
century, that cartoon bears little resemblance to reality.
Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by
sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial
structures, security services and professional propagandists. The
members of these networks are connected not only within a given
country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled
companies in one dictatorship do business with corrupt,
state-controlled companies in another. The police in one country
can arm, equip, and train the police in another. The propagandists
share resources—the troll farms that promote one dictator’s
propaganda can also be used to promote the propaganda of
another—and themes, pounding home the same messages about the
weakness of democracy and the evil of America.Unlike military or
political alliances from other times and places, this group doesn’t
operate like a bloc, but rather like an agglomeration of
companies:Autocracy, Inc. Their relations are not based on
values, but are rather transactional, which is why they operate so
easily across ideological, geographical, and cultural lines. In
truth, they are in full agreement about only one thing: Their
dislike of us, the inhabitants of the democratic world, and their
desire to see both our political systems and our values
undermine.That shared understanding of the world—where it comes
from, why it lasts, how it works, how the democratic world has
unwittingly helped to consolidate it, and how we can help bring it
down—is the subject of this book.
