👇🎯 It’s incredible how many folks on this website have either convinced themselves/pretend to believe that only one half of the political spectrum will exist in the future or that the left/Democrats are going to somehow win every election in the future. There is no country where it works like that.

This is something folks dismissed & said, "Why are you wasting your time on something so unimportant?" when in fact, it was the most important thing of all. "Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections." If you won't even call the opposition party by its name, you don't support democracy.

Oh, goody, look who gets to be thrown under the bus.

Citado no longo voto de Fux, Przeworski o contraria e cobra punição a Bolsonaro. Outro mencionado -e também por Moro na Lava Jato-, Ferrajoli critica o ex-juiz e exalta a resistência ao ensaio golpista: “Prova de civilização que o Brasil ofereceu ao mundo”.

Entrevista: anistia a Bolsonaro seria um desastre e encorajaria novos golpes, diz cientista político Adam Przeworski
O cientista político Adam Przeworski, pesquisador sobre a democracia, avalia que uma anistia a Jair Bolsonaro seria “um desastre”. Professor emérito da Universidade de Nova York, o polonês radicado nos Estados Unidos afirma que a condenação do ex-presidente e de militares de alto escalão por tentativa de golpe de Estado é um sinal da força das instituições brasileiras. Segundo ele, não há crise global da democracia, mas um enfraquecimento da esquerda. Partidos de extrema direita, diz ele, podem ser democráticos. Matéria exclusiva para assinantes.

An outstanding interview. Patrick Iber of Dissent Magazine has interviewed the legendary Polish political scientist Adam Przeworski about de-democratisation in the USA, and what lessons he’s gleaned from Chile, Peru & beyond.
Iber’s questions are stellar. Przeworski’s answers, chillingly candid.

Przeworski also offered some refreshingly frank words on how little we often know. This fact about Juan Linz, a great intellectual partner to my late mentor, the wonderful scholar Alfred Stepan, is a gem.
Contingency, as Stepan often told me, is key. Never lose sight of it.

To be fair the analogy doesn’t quite work. Przeworski is open about the uncertainty in political science models about what might happen, whereas climate models produced pretty good predictions. Still the possibility of catastrophic consequences of Trumpism is very real

The dynamics Przeworski IDs here also hastened democratic backsliding in Tunisia & Turkey.
Democracy’s assassins were Saied & Erdogan. But the body politic was vulnerable partly bc Ennahda Party in Tunisia, & CHP in Turkey, became perceived as parties that hold seats rather than parties of vision.

Well, you can use minimalist definitions (Schumpeter, Downs, Riker, Przeworski), you can use maximalist or pluralist definitions (Dahl), something in between them (Acemoglu and Robinson), even some deeply normative and philosophical definitions like deliberative democracy by Habermas. Results

I have my own disagreements with Przeworski, particularly about his understanding of the relationship between democracy and authoritarianism. But, of course, his contribution to democracy and authoritarianism studies cannot be and should not be overlooked. Here is the latest interview with him.
