Democracy in danger

Filter bubbles predict which sites and information to show you based on your location, search history, purchases, and the groups you are part of on social media. This makes searching for critical political information very difficult, leaving you with tunnel vision. Our opinions and our votes can be, and have been, easily manipulated in this way.

Common Security - Cooperation & Shared Responsibility for Mutual Safety

Olof Palme's revolutionary vision redefines safety by shifting from confrontation to collaboration, urging nations to address global threats through trust, mutual understanding, and dialogue. It promotes a safer, more stable world by directing resources toward development rather than defence. He advocated for shared security through disarmament, collaboration, and respect for human rights.

The good and bad sides to socialism

As governments around the world have become the centre of controversy, citizens are becoming tired of giant industry, corruption, fascism, and austerity measures. Socialism enforces community ownership, and decentralization of economic and social systems. The ideology has been gaining popularity, but when implemented incorrectly has led to hunger, stifled growth, and authoritarian rule.

The Rise of Autocracy

Autocracy is a form of governance in which absolute power resides in the hands of a single individual. Democratic backsliding has accelerated since 2016 and infiltrated all corners of the world. Examples of modern autocrats include Viktor Orbán, Vladimir Putin, Nayib Bukele, Narendra Modi, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Nicolás Maduro. They do not take power through military coups but by quietly undoing core democratic principles, weakening the rule of law, twisting information, creating confusion, and dismantling democracy from within. Autocratic leaders prioritise control over individual freedoms and public participation. They open the doors for abuse of power, impunity, and suppression of dissent.

The power of protest

2019 and 2020 have both seen unprecendented citizen involvement in speaking out, and taking a stand against harmful environmental practices. The Fridays for Future movement, and the Extinction Rebellion drew huge attention to the climate crisis, ackowledged the science infront of us, and sped up governmental action - but there is still much work to be done.
