Interesting. Saving democracy through the Bolshevik tactics of removing free speech.Harvard, Moscow, Beijing ...
From the article:
Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt advised pushing a "militant democracy" to ensure an "authoritarian figure" like former President Trump never rises to power again.
In an op-ed for the New York Times, Levitsky and Ziblatt describe how they spent the last year "researching how democracies can protect themselves from authoritarian threats from within," lamenting how close Trump remains to getting a second term.
"How could such an openly authoritarian figure have a coin flip’s chance of returning to the presidency? Why have so many of our democracy’s defenses seemingly broken down, and which, if any, remain?" they wrote.
One of the ways they suggested limiting figures like Trump’s rise to power was a "militant or defensive democracy" which they described as a way authorities can restrict or outlaw speech against "antidemocratic forces."

The influx has nearly doubled Lockland’s population of 3,500 in a matter of months, local officials say.

Nearly all of the migrants are from the Muslim-majority country on Africa’s Atlantic coast, which is among the poorest in the world.
