https://www.v-dem.net/documents/75/V-Dem_Institute_Democracy_Report_2026_lowres.pdfKey findings from 2026:>Democracy is back to 1978 levels for the averageglobal citizen. The gains of the “third wave ofdemocratization”, starting 1974 in Portugal, arealmost eradicated.>The USA loses its long-term status as a liberaldemocracy – for the first time in over 50 years. >74% of the world population (6 billion) now live in autocracies>Only 7% of the world population (0.6 billion) live in liberaldemocracies>Almost all aspects of democracy register far-reachingdeclines during the last decade – a dramatic reversalcompared to 25 years ago>Freedom of expression is the most hard-hit: 44 countriesare declining in 2025>A record of 41% (3.4 billion) of the world populationcurrently reside in autocratizing countries.>Media censorship remains the most common tacticamong autocratizing governments with 32 countries(73%) resorting to it.>Among the new autocratizers are five Europeancountries: Croatia, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the UK>Nearly a quarter of the world’s nations are now onthe list of autocratizers: 44 countries.>Only 18 countries are democratizing. Of them, 8 arestand-alone democratizers, and 10 are U-turns (had been democracy, was autocrizing for a bit, but turned back to democracy such as South Korea).>Under Trump’s presidency democracy in the USAhas fallen back to the same level as in 1965. Yet thesituation is fundamentally different than during theCivil Rights era.>President Trump’s second term can be summarizedas a rapid and aggressive concentration of powers in thepresidency.
BTW it's fun to go on their stats and graphs page. If you want their entire data set you can download it all as a stata file but you need the best version to run all he variables since you need the version that needs up to 200k
Electoral democracy is growing fast (almost always because of liberal democracies falling)
>>542479970>Croatia, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the UKLol what
>democracyUnless you vote against your replacement>freedom of expressionUnless you oppose your replacement>electionsUnless you want to choose someone who will stop your replacement
World snap shot
>>542479970Democracy is a mild form of communism, both are based on equality
>>542480121UK is mostly their draconian speech laws. Croatia, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia are doing Orban type stuff >>542480141Actually no... immigration numbers aren't part of the methodology.
Definitions >>542480193Democracy is highly correlated with free market economies but alright
Bell-turns means you were autocratic, began democratization, but then immediately reversed course to go back to autocracy
it's so joever
Yeah... we fell off. hard....
>>542480225My point being that "liberal democracy" is a meme where elite consensus is what actually drives all policy, with a veneer of electoralism to provide legitimacy. In the event that popular will contrary to elite consensus does manage to breach the firewall of cordon sanitaire, coordinated public-private propaganda, imported brown electoral ballast, academic ideological capture, security agency harassment of dissidents, and donor capture of political parties, they'll just overturn the election like in Romania or try to foment a color revolution like in Serbia or Georgia. The dictatorship of the bourgeoisie does not actually tolerate any threats to the rule of capital, it's just subtler about enforcing it
>>542480884It's not. You bought into the meme that liberal democracy = when crazy libs in power and bad autocracy = when based christian heroes of the west in power.You also fell for the "Color revolutions fake!" meme. It's funny you think the elites are bringing in browns to vote for them but that disinformation campaigns, foreign black money being injected into campaigns, vote buying by an adversarial country is a-okay. Liberal democracy as defined by v-dem>Requirements of Electoral Democracy are met; judicial and legislative constraints on the executive along with the protection of civil liberties and equality before the law.It simply means you have checks and balances and protected civil and political liberties. The UK is autocratizing because they are censoring right wing and anti-Israel speech. According to you that should boost their numbers not make them one of the worst autocratizers. Which country or trend are they wrong on.
>>542480884Also the Serbian protests aren't a color revolution. Vucic is more pro-EU than the protestors lmfao but you're so brain broken by the idea that NOTHING can happen unless it's by a shadowy cabal that magically and seamlessly gets people to engage in mass movements they don't actually believe in so of course the anti-Vucic protesters must be asking for gay rights and EU membership (the opposite is true)
>>542481065immigration is way down in usajust because we have a jewlover who is anti immigration we slid further than uk where the jewloving govt is pro muslim
>>542481301No. They don't mention immigration at all in the report you retard. They mention growing executive power, interference in FCC, interference in media mergers to force them to make editorial decisions, decline in legislative restraints, increased control over academiaLiberal democracies are simply the best countries in the world to live in. Cry about it all you want, but it's the best system of government. USA becoming an authoritarian shithole is a bad thing.
>>542479970None of this horseshit is real until they acknowledge that the UK and EU jail people for speech. Fuck every single fucking leftist piece of shit.
>>542481301BTW Denmark has super strict immigration laws and a right wing gov't and they are still strongly liberal democratic, one of the most liberal-democratic in fact. Same with Japan. You're just making shit up for no reason on 4chan.org
>>542481441>Conveniently leaves out leftist two tier justice systems in the UK and EUYou deserve to be burned alive.
A democracy is a country controlled by jews
>>542481462>until they acknowledge that the UK and EU jail people for speech.They do. The UK is one of the fastest autocratizing countries in the world specifically because of their speech. I swear you fucking faggots cannot read. I literally spoon fed you and you STILL couldn't read.
>>542481504>EU justice system not how it works. But yes, the report notes autocratizing in the UK and across Europe, mostly due to speech
>>542481065>liberal democracy = when crazy libs in poweLiberal democracy is when liberals (as in the liberal order, not progressives) control a state via the power of money, to the end of making more money>It's funny you think the elites are bringing in browns to vote for themThey are but nice job trying to present this as conspiratorial>but that disinformation campaigns, foreign black money being injected into campaigns, vote buying by an adversarial country is a-okayIf the regime is running propaganda campaigns and buying elections to further their own interest at my expense then no I don't particularly care if (to the degree that this is even true) another country wants to come in and do the same thing to support my position at their expense. If one is valid then so is the other>>542481228Vucic, famous internationalist versus students, academics, and civil society, famous champions of the national interest who definitely don't have a decades long record of getting funded by the state department and the open society foundation. I'm sure Brussels is rooting for him
>>542479970Democracy comes with an asterisk and the asterisk says “gay anal sex marriage and tranny rights”.
>>542481667Yeah that's not what liberal democracy is. I told you what liberal democracy is. >Other countries do thatCan you show me what liberal-democratic countries where vote buying or illegally funding candidates in Romania or Moldova? >Serbia take acting like it's the organge revolutionRetard.>>542478728Go talk to actual serbs. Vucic is trying to get Serbs into the EU. The protesters are anti-EU or at the very least don't care. The SPS is probably going to win, they are a Euroskeptic, pro-russiam, anti-western party. That's who the protestors back. Vucic says "It's a color revolution" because color revolution = "the guy I liked was removed by the people so I'll just blame the west with 0 evidence" in slavspeak and gullible westerners fall for it every time
>>542481065The Islamic + prajeet hordes are vote buying by uae, saud, turkey, india etc. Liberal democracy doesn't work anyway it always results in chaos. People aren't equal pretending they are is to deny reality
>>542482074>Liberal democracy doesn't work anyway it always results in chaoshe says from the Netherlands. It's always the people in the most stable, safe, liberal-democratic countries that everybody wants to live in who say "democracy bad" because you literally have nothing to complain about so you need to turn democracy into a satanic evil so you can feel you live in an exciting movie where you're going up against the bad guys
>>542481839>slavspeakLol you are literally the memehttps://youtu.be/1FaPuBUY558Go back to listening to Hanania or Meidas Touch or whatever
