Democracy Winning and Losing at the Ballot
- The level of democracy enjoyed by the average person in the world in 2023 is down to 1985-levels; by country-based averages, it is back to 1998.
Since 2009 – almost 15 years in a row – the share of the world’s population living in autocratizing countries has overshadowed the share living in democratizing countries.
The wave of autocratization is notable. Autocratization is ongoing in 42 countries, home to 2.8 billion people, or 35% of the world’s population. India, with 18% of the world’s population, accounts for about half of the population living in autocratizing countries.
- Elections are “critical events” that can either trigger democratization, enable autocratization, or aid stabilization of autocratic regimes.
71% is regime-pilled
A plurality – 44% of the world’s population, or 3.5 billion people – reside in electoral autocracies, which include populous countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, The Philippines, and Türkiye.
Closed autocracies with sizeable populations include China, Iran, Myanmar, and Vietnam. This regime type accounts for 27% of the world’s population, or 2.2 billion people.

Wait what? Actually? You mean these motherfuckers don't even make their own judgements? Give me a map and some colors and even I can do more.
Like westerners are so addicted yo outsourcing they even outsource their opinions
Mexico banned corn syrup from their foodstufs and has thus lost a billion points on the Freedom Index®
LMFAO just noticed Australia is deep blue, perfect democracy in no way shepherded by the US intelligence services and their nonexistent massive secret bases there
When you know that to them democracy == complacency towards imperialism, you see these graphs as a massive W
Democratization is when you open up your country to be looted by foreign multinationals
The fact that they have Brazil in blue and mexico in red in this reporting is surprising to me
Show
as well as having ukraine as red and israel as neutral, apparently
I cannot determine the origin of this ideological stench
I mean I guess if liberal democracy = bourgeois democracy, sure.
A shame they are too craven to give their citizenry a political education grounded in reality to acknowledge the distinction.
