Is Romania the canary in the 'death of democracy' coalmine?
After today's news, that canary - along with 'democracy' - is well and truly dead.
In a stunning turn of events - that we have a feeling could backfire disastrously on the elite establishment - Romania has barred far-right frontrunner Calin Georgescu from running in May’s presidential election, in a move that could worsen the country’s political turmoil.
this is a really bad precedent. we ban ya because we dont like ya.
europe as a whole is leaning to authoritarianism and i suspect that big players and money are involved in this

Except for israel, obviously. I hope they fuck up at every opportunity and fail completely due to their own foolish incompetence in the most internationally embarrassing manners possible.

Democracy has always been a rigged system. What is the difference between the US and USSR? The US is a two party state instead of a one party state.
The democratic Allies banned the Nazis and their offshoots purely for the reason they feared they'd win elections.
In the UK the first past the post system notoriously bars parties like Farage's from getting anywhere despite his high vote totals and repeatedly winning the European elections.
Should be read - by the daughter of a Democrat US Senator. Very mainstream. Details how bullshit the US system is what with gerrymandering, election laws designed to keep third parties at bay, campaign financing making it impossible for the little guy to compete, etc. I'll add, as Dugin has, that the US mainstream media, like the USSR's media did, just keeps real dissidents off the air.

The liberal state, like all states, is authoritarian - and the mask rarely comes off even as clearly as it is in Romania. Real policy is made at the classified level in this country. And the US classifies more information than any other country.
