Democracy's Tyranny: A Complex Duality
This chapter investigates the uneasy relationship between democracy and authoritarianism, using El Salvador's president as a case study to illustrate how leaders can justify undemocratic measures in times of crisis. It questions whether rigorous governance for the sake of order equates to tyranny, while also examining the implications of concentrated power across various political landscapes. The discussion urges listeners to critically evaluate the potential rise of authoritarian practices in Western democracies and to engage actively in their local political communities.
