I have only recently realized that there are as many different flavors of autocracy as there are democracies. While they all share common elements and usually a common trajectory - when you dig into details of how they work, they are often surprisingly different.

For example, the mechanisms by which Russia works and maintains control are surprisingly different from how China does, and similarly different from how Iran does, etc.

There are many ways of killing a cat. That’s a popular adage in my local dialect. Even UK isn’t democratic if you take a proper look at it

"Many ways to skin a cat"?

Auto correct did that to me . Let me edit the post

Looks up Autocracy...

You meant it's not only Dictatorship?

Contradictions have always existed and always will be.
Countries that are trying to explore space in one place are countries that criticize the clothes people wear and try to destroy freedom in the other.
Which will evolve...

I guess nowadays democracy is even losing its consecration. People are begining to lose hope in democracy

That is true, and I think we could have a better system in Hive. But it is not ready for the world and the world is not yet ready for it.

The fight today is between autocracy and democracy, and it's autocracies like Russia which are really showing their weakness now.
