In his groundbreaking new book, "The New Authoritarians: Covid-19 and the War Against the Human," acclaimed author and historian David Neiwert provides a comprehensive and chilling account of this ominous trend.
Through meticulous research and incisive analysis, Neiwert exposes the insidious tactics employed by the new authoritarians:
- Emergency powers: Governments have expanded their authority under the guise of protecting public health, using these powers to justify arbitrary measures and suppress opposition.
- Censorship: Critics of government policies have been silenced or even imprisoned, while state-sponsored propaganda has been amplified.
- Surveillance: Citizens have been subjected to unprecedented levels of surveillance, from contact tracing to biometric monitoring.
- Intimidation and repression: Dissenters have been harassed, threatened, and jailed, creating a climate of fear and self-censorship.
Neiwert argues that the new authoritarians are not simply isolated outliers, but rather part of a broader global movement that seeks to undermine democracy and human rights.
He identifies the following key characteristics of the new authoritarianism:
- Populism: Authoritarian leaders exploit populist sentiments, appealing to fears and grievances while promising simple solutions to complex problems.
- Nationalism: They promote a narrow and exclusive sense of national identity, demonizing outsiders and scapegoating minorities.
- Cult of personality: Authoritarian leaders cultivate a cult of personality, surrounding themselves with loyalists and silencing their critics.
- Authoritarian institutions: They dismantle democratic institutions, such as independent judiciaries and free media, and replace them with authoritarian structures.
Neiwert warns that the new authoritarianism represents a grave threat to human freedom and dignity. He calls for a global movement of resistance, one that defends democratic values, protects human rights, and exposes the true nature of authoritarianism.
In "The New Authoritarians: Covid-19 and the War Against the Human," David Neiwert offers a timely and essential analysis of one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today.
