Russia and China hardly know democracy, and are so inaccessible that it is difficult to get an objective picture of these countries. They are the largest countries in the world who want to continue to play a strong role in the world, but without conquering or dominating it. However, in the international political arena, they continuously strive for more geopolitical influence.
If someone in a powerful position acts in a certain way or has a certain vision, we implicitly assume that those actions and beliefs are linked to power and success and that they will benefit us. Influential people, governments and world leaders should be an example to us all, and when these people give the wrong example, their followers will do likewise and violence, hate, and fear become acceptable and normal. The voice of authority expresses displeasure, and suddenly people see violence as something that is not only possible, but acceptable.
Populism
We blame foreigners and minorities for the political and economic failures of our leaders and our leaders accuse the same groups to justify their political and economic failures. How ironic !!!!
Populism divides our fragile society. The pillars of freedom and democracy are crumbling. Populism needs enemies. Populism grows like a tumor and when it is not tackled quickly, it leads to death and destruction. Finally, democracy will turn into fascism and Nazism.
Populists reject the 'elite', but does 'the elite' consist of foreigners, minorities and dissidents?
The elite, the establishment, is nothing more than the cannibalistic capitalist system and the 1% richest of the Earth, which continue to flourish through chaos and divisions. More chaos, hate, fear and anger, because those are the foundations on which populists and the elite build their empire. Just like the old political parties before them, populists serve the establishment and the elite.
