Analyzing the Erosion of Democracy

<p>How can someone understand the inherent value of true democracy if they&rsquo;ve never felt the weight of a dictatorship?&nbsp;If they have never lived under the shadow of communism, military rule, or fascism. If they haven&rsquo;t lost the power over major decisions that affect their body. They have no access to education, the books they want to read, or the opportunity to manifest their dreams for the future.</p> <p>Imagine always looking over your shoulder, always afraid that at any moment, they might come for you. It&rsquo;s not a movie, it&rsquo;s happening all over the world. I&rsquo;ve witnessed some of those dark times and places, and that&rsquo;s why I find what&rsquo;s happening in America now so deeply troubling. It&rsquo;s like watching shadows of the past creeping in.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/brain-labs/analyzing-the-erosion-of-democracy-dbc5ea39c152"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
