Living in Singapore, it very much fit these 14 points, but they hid behind a democratic face. The Marcos regime in the Philippines was also very much like that as well.
They fit those 14 points too but they carried it to the most extreme, and continued to do so for over a generation.
Living here in the US is NOTHING like living in those countries...our government changes over time over and over again. You too can participate in the process besides just voting.
