عن الاستبداد.. عشرون درساً في المقاومة

We are no wiser than those who witnessed the collapse of democracy across Europe and the rise of fascism, National Socialism and Communism. But we have one advantage: we can learn from their experiences. “Do not obey preemptively.” This is the first of twenty lessons of resistance that Timothy Snyder has prepared the citizens of the United States for what seemed unthinkable yesterday: a president who distorts the face of democracy and attempts to establish a right-wing tyranny. But populism and authoritarian leadership are on the rise, and not just in the United States. In Europe too, the threat of the right is getting closer and closer, as if the twentieth century and its bloody lessons had never existed. Snyder's landmark lessons, which have received international attention, are a guide for anyone who wants to act now, and not wait until it is too late. Lesson 8: “Make a statement.” This book does that. You should do it too.
