<p>It's not necessarily a binary choice, is it? There's a spectrum between true democracy that isn't simply "rule of majority", and authoritarianism.<p>There is a weakness in democracies too, that if they are too tolerant and allow too much freedom, this can paradoxically undermine democracy itself and lead to a collapse.<p>So in general, western democracies tend to respect human rights, sacrificing the greater good, because this in itself is considered a greater good.</p>

<p>> Its a "nation first + everything for the nation" thinking.<p>If you think this means "our nation over other nations" then you misunderstood. It means "nation above all", e.g. "everything for the government, above citizens". That is, forget the individual, there is a greater good for which we must endure some hardship, trust me.<p>FYI, the promised land never materialized, historically.</p>

<p>>  Not everybody who is against communism is a "fascist"<p>The man that bought one of the most important social networks and has substantially changed its algorithm is nearly openly a nazi. It's not just the sieg hail the day of the presidential swear-in, it's everything he does to the world and the USA. And so do all the others.<p>> So you get the rude approach.<p>You're digging your own grave. Your president is handing over your empire piecewise to your adversaries for a fistful of gold. You must understand this: the only thing worse than communism, is fascism, because it's just corruption as a form of government.</p>

<p>Instagram is full of videos of guys harassing and antagonizing people in public as "pranks". And this is not some coincidence, since both products are from the same company, they basically unleashed this for engagement.</p>

<p>> When it is the other way around (the government defines the will of people), it is called authoritarianism.<p>Not the definition: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism</a><p>You should really read those Wikipedia articles. Creating and explaining your own definitions and circular logic make you sound like a fool.<p>Right now, there are foreign actors helping right-extremist campaigns in Europe. Those parties' goal is ultimately converting to Authoritarianism. You can connect the dots yourself now.</p>
