'Joe Biden correctly argues that the struggle between democracy and autocracy is the defining conflict of our time,' writes NYT columnist David Brooks. 'So which system performs better under stress?'
Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a meeting with leaders of the State Duma, the Lower House of the Russian Parliament factions via video conference residence at the Novo-Ogaryovo outside Moscow, Russia, Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021. Joe Biden correctly argues that the struggle between democracy and autocracy is the defining conflict of our time. So which system performs better under stress?
In democracies, on the other hand, power is decentralized, often polarized and paralytic. The American political system has become distrusted and dysfunctional. A homegrown would-be autocrat won the White House. Academics have written popular books with titles like “How Democracies Die.” Often in autocracies, decisions are made within a small, closed circle. Information flows are distorted by power. No one tells the top man what he doesn’t want to hear. The Russian intelligence failure about Ukraine has been astounding. Vladimir Putin understood nothing about what the Ukrainian people wanted, how they would fight or how his own army had been ruined by corruption and kleptocrats.Human beings these days want to have full, rich lives and make the most of their potential.
