Is there a single place in the world where democracy is improving? It sure seems like we’re all slowly backsliding together.

Democracy can only last so long while capitalism is allowed to twist and control the minds of the people in it, and the current generation of rich people who control the lobbyists and voter information being sent have realized that an authoritarian hard right democracy favors them as it is in conflict with itself and creates something for the voters to focus on that's not regulating excess wealth or regulating the manipulation of fair and free elections by a rich few.

Cuba, Vietnam, Laos. At the local and province level in China.
