today's turbulent world order.\u003cbr\u003e Today's authoritarian states are not supported by a single evil person, but by a sophisticated network of kleptocracy-style financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists operating in regimes like China, Russia, and Iran.\u003cbr\u003e Members of this network are connected not only within one dictatorship, but also with other dictatorships and sometimes even with members of democratic states.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike the 20th century, today's dictators are unconcerned with criticism of themselves or their countries, and they are not at all ashamed of their overt atrocities. \u003cbr\u003eThey dismiss foreign criticism as a vast imperialist conspiracy to destroy them.\u003cbr\u003e This group operates similarly to a corporate conglomerate, bound together by a determined determination to maintain personal wealth and power.\u003cbr\u003e This is the so-called ‘corporation dictatorship.’\u003cbr\u003e United by mutually imitating technologies and tactics, shared economic interests, and a resolve not to give up power, dictators believe they have the upper hand.\u003cbr\u003e Where this belief comes from, why it persists, and how the democratic world solidified it in the first place are the themes of this book.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on numerous international examples, it exposes the true nature of corporate dictatorship and its code of conduct, and discusses what we must do to combat it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

existed in other times and places, this group operates more like a ruthless corporate group bound by a resolute determination to maintain personal wealth and power.\u003cbr\u003e So to speak, it is an 'Autocracy Inc.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Today's dictators differ in many ways from those of the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e The heirs, successors, and imitators of the leaders and thinkers of the old generation may espouse diverse ideologies, but they share one common enemy.\u003cbr\u003e That enemy is us. \u003cbr\u003e…contrary to what so-called “realists” and many international relations strategists still believe, the hostility that dictators now display toward the democratic world is not in the form of traditional geopolitical competition.\u003cbr\u003e Their opposition is directed at the very essence of the democratic political system, expressed in words like 'responsibility', 'transparency', and 'democracy'.\u003cbr\u003e They want to destroy both of these elements, because they hear these things in the democratic world and from dissidents.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Introduction: The Dictatorship of Corporations\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In a more open and interconnected world, everyone expected that democratic and liberal ideas would spread to dictatorships.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, no one imagined that dictatorship and illiberalism would spread to the democratic world.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Chapter 1: Tangled Greed\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMany of the propagandists of corporate dictatorship have learned from the mistakes made in the 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e They do not offer citizens a utopian vision or inspire them to build a better world.\u003cbr\u003e Instead, it teaches us to be cynical and passive because we cannot create a better world.\u003cbr\u003e Their goal is to convince people not to care about dictatorships, not to get involved in politics, and not to expect democratic alternatives.\u003cbr\u003e “You could say we are corrupt.\u003cbr\u003e But everyone else is corrupt too.\u003cbr\u003e You may call our leaders bad.\u003cbr\u003e But others are worse.\u003cbr\u003e You may not like our society.\u003cbr\u003e But at least we are strong, and the democratic world is weak, corrupt, divided and dying.”\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Chapter 3: Controlling Discourse\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis tactic, the so-called \"tinderbox of lies,\" breeds not anger but nihilism.\u003cbr\u003e When you're presented with so many explanations, how can you possibly know what's really happening? What if you simply can't understand? If you can't understand what's happening around you, you might not join the movement for democracy, follow leaders who speak the truth, or listen to those who talk about positive political change.\u003cbr\u003e And you will completely avoid politics.\u003cbr\u003e Dictators have a tremendous incentive to spread this despair and cynicism not only in their own countries but throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- From \"Chapter 3: Controlling Discourse\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow did we arrive at an era of shamelessness and ignorance?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA clear and profound insight into today's turbulent world order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In recent years, not only the domestic political situation, but also the growing far-right sentiment around the world and Russia's imperialistic behavior have shaken the foundations we believed we should at least protect.\u003cbr\u003e The democratic world order that was formed after the end of World War II and the dissolution of the Soviet Union no longer seems to be a given.\u003cbr\u003e The world's most powerful figures, including Putin, Trump, and Xi Jinping, as well as the dictators of many countries, now do not hesitate to engage in blatantly shameless and senseless words and actions.\u003cbr\u003e How did this come to be? Anne Applebaum, who has spent decades uncovering the true nature of authoritarian regimes, including the modern history of Russia and Eastern Europe, draws on numerous case studies to diagnose today's turbulent world order. \u003cbr\u003eThe core of the analysis is that authoritarian powers around the world are forming an elaborate international network that unites and supports one another.\u003cbr\u003e This group operates similarly to a corporate conglomerate, bound together by a determined determination to maintain personal wealth and power.\u003cbr\u003e This is the so-called ‘corporation dictatorship.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow are today's dictatorships different from those of the 20th century?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When we think of a 'dictatorship', there is an image that comes to mind.\u003cbr\u003e At the very top sits the evil one, who controls the military and the police.\u003cbr\u003e The military and police threaten the people with force.\u003cbr\u003e There may be evil collaborators, and there may also be some brave dissidents.\u003cbr\u003e But in the 21st century, this image doesn't quite resemble reality. \u003cbr\u003eToday's dictatorships are run not by a single villain, but by a network of kleptocracy-style financial structures, armies, paramilitary organizations, police, and other security agencies, and technical experts who provide surveillance, propaganda, and disinformation.\u003cbr\u003e Members of this network are connected not only within one dictatorship, but also with other dictatorships and sometimes even with members of democratic states.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dictatorships are willing to accept sanctions from wealthy democracies like the European Union and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e This is because it has the support of China, the Soviet Union, Iran, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Cuban and Venezuelan leaders present foreign criticism as evidence of a vast imperialist conspiracy orchestrated to destroy them.\u003cbr\u003e The Russo-Ukrainian war was the first full-scale conflict between the world of corporate dictatorship and the world of democracy. \u003cbr\u003ePutin and Xi Jinping have shown many around the world that treaties and conventions concerning war and genocide, as well as \"civil liberties\" and the \"rule of law,\" are Western ideas and do not apply to them.\u003cbr\u003e Their goal is to 'create a new world order'.\u003cbr\u003e United by mutually imitating technologies and tactics, shared economic interests, and a resolve not to give up power, the members of this corporate dictatorship believe they have the upper hand.\u003cbr\u003e Where this belief comes from, why it persists, how the democratic world solidified it in the first place, and how we can defeat it are the themes of \"The Dictatorship of the Corporation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe world of democracy that was complacent\u003cbr\u003e The world of dictatorship, in turmoil\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this book, author Anne Applebaum, drawing on numerous international examples, exposes the true nature of corporate dictatorship and its code of conduct.\u003cbr\u003e The author cites the 'paradox of success and failure' as the main reason for the current situation.\u003cbr\u003e While the liberal democratic world, immersed in a sense of accomplishment following the collapse of communism in the late 20th century, remained optimistic, the dictatorial world grappled with the experience of failure and struggled to overcome it.\u003cbr\u003e 'Liberal democracy has triumphed, and everyone will want it, so the beneficial effects of trade and globalization will soon work their magic.' Many Americans and Europeans believed this, as they assumed that if they made countries like China and Russia richer through trade, they would naturally become more democratic.\u003cbr\u003e No one imagined that dictatorship and illiberalism would spread to the democratic world in the opposite direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, the democratic world has not only facilitated the growth of the dictatorial world, but has also come to the point of helping it.\u003cbr\u003e Far from creating a freer society, the now-powerful dictatorships have formed a global network of dictatorships that cooperate with each other and are secretly intertwined with democratic nations.\u003cbr\u003e This point also applies to the Internet and social networks.\u003cbr\u003e In the early 2000s, there was great hope and expectation that democracy would further develop as citizens' political participation and communication became easier through the Internet.\u003cbr\u003e But as we have seen, anonymity has led to the proliferation of indiscriminate hate speech and baseless fake news.\u003cbr\u003e Members of the corporation's dictatorship understand this very well and are actively utilizing this attractive medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDictators' Code of Conduct:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eChange the language, redraw the board, and cut down your opponents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book also exposes in detail the specific code of conduct of the members of the dictatorship of the stock company and their actual cases.\u003cbr\u003e The main principles are ‘Controlling the Discourse’ (Chapter 3), ‘Rewriting the Board’ (Chapter 4), and ‘Degrading Democrats’ (Chapter 5).\u003cbr\u003e They promote the democratic world order itself as Western imperialist interference and invasion, and they incite political hatred and cynicism through media control and numerous fake news (such as the so-called \"tinderbox of lies\" strategy), and rather than harming their own democrats, they encourage division and alienation among their supporters by tarnishing them and casting them in a malicious frame.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the Soviet Union and China have been working hard to promote their countries positively through various international broadcasts and social media. \u003cbr\u003eThe dictatorship of the stock company is trying to erase words like \"democracy,\" \"human rights,\" and \"sense of responsibility\" from the international stage and spread expressions like \"right to development,\" \"sovereignty,\" \"coexistence and cooperation,\" \"mutual respect,\" and \"multipolarity.\"\u003cbr\u003e These non-threatening and positively nuanced words are actually intended to prevent criticism and sanctions from other countries.\u003cbr\u003e They hope that extreme voices will become more extreme and violent, encouraging people to question the state, question authority, and ultimately question democracy itself.\u003cbr\u003e Thus, we hope to destroy the existing discourse and order and rewrite the rules of the world system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFor the unity of democrats\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What must we do to protect a democratic, open, and free society?
