Dr Timothy Snyder is so clearly a patient and methodical speaker l easily follow his thinking. I watch my mind gradually open into a deeper understanding as he talks. Its liberating.
Thank you for this discussion.

This group of social/ historians on democracies/worked in and around democracy and other types of, and different ideology regimes.
I enjoy the way they break things down, apply from past to present. Open your senses to what political is and how it affects you AND your life. That Democracy is participatory. A Team sport.
I have my radar turned for any of their discussions, IT gives me a healthy choice to keep being involved ideas for growth.
So Thank to everyone!

Very helpful discussion, and it was nice to hear Robert's voice again.

'Giving people a greater voice'. Phew, steady on there! Fiona Hill, the female version of Professor Brian Cox.

I would argue the crisis started in 1948 in Costa Rica when the USA toppled Calderon and replaced him with Ferrer.
The USA has a long history of toppling democratic countries including Iran (1953), Congo (1960), Brasil (1961), Bolivia (1971), Chile (1973) etc. etc.
The truth is the USA does not care what government type a country has, as long as it does what the USA wants.
This explains its history of happily working with monarchies (Saudi Arabia), dictators (pick one from Central America) and democracies.

Capatilism rules the world it doesn't count unless it sells. Democracy doesn't rule the world, get that through your head . This world is ruled by violence, bests left unsaid

[nd_snideelf]

Very important discussion. Thanks for this.

Do you think being able to vote for two parties - both owned by billionaire Oligarchs - is democracy?

[jamesruscheinski]

Nation is more than government, and people are more than the nation

[danielhutchinson]

The Fact that Wealthy Individuals appoint the names of Candidates for the average Voter,
seems to prove that the concept of Democracy does not come close to representing the needs of the Average Citizen.
The Investor Class appears to be about all who are represented by Elections in the US?

[talkwench]

PBS & BBC are precious & under threat.

[dino]

What is D-Mock-Racy? America has its own unique System, where the Presidential Candidate with the majority Votes does not necessarily will become the President! There are not much Democratic Countries where the Prime Minister/President were Voted in with the majority.
