Authoritarian regimes, especially those driven by leftist ideologies, tend to follow a recognizable pattern. These patterns are marked by a push for bigger government, socialist control, collectivism, and the enforcement of censorship, all done in the name of so-called progress. A prominent philosophy behind these modern authoritarian regimes is futurism—the rejection of tradition in favor of dismantling old values to usher in societal “progress.”
Why do you think the Democratic Party sat back and said nothing about the BLM riots and the toppling of statues across the United States? Nancy Pelosi, as Speaker of the House, was asked what she thought of the thugs toppling important statues in cities across the country and her response was, “People will do what they do.”
WATCH:
Kamala Harris, running for vice president, made statements that the rioters will and should continue rioting, masking her words about protesters, but if she only supported peaceful protesters, then why did she give a shoutout to an organization that did fundraising for bail money for rioters?

Futurism and the Justification for Oppression
Futurism, central to the rise of modern authoritarianism, thrives on the belief that any change is inherently good. This mindset not only dismisses tradition as outdated but also promotes oppression to achieve the perceived benefits of progress. The dismantling of traditional values under this philosophy is not just a byproduct but a goal—oppression is justified in the name of societal advancement.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELAuthoritarianism, underpinned by futurism, often equates progress with unquestionable change, regardless of its moral or societal implications. As such, these regimes seek to reshape society under the guise of progress, ignoring the potential harm that comes with disregarding core values.
The Stages of Tyranny: From Social Division to Censorship
Tyranny, in these regimes, often progresses in stages. The first stage is to exploit existing social divisions to create enemies of the state. In many Western societies, this often manifests in targeting conservatives—those who defend traditional values and oppose radical shifts in societal structures. The futurist philosophy labels them as enemies to the cause of progress, making them prime targets for censorship and societal marginalization.
Censorship becomes an essential tool in authoritarian regimes. To maintain control, these regimes silence opposing viewpoints, curbing free expression and dissent. A striking example is Brazil’s crackdown on Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) as well as the growing censorship trends in the UK. These nations illustrate how futurist-driven governments use censorship to suppress opposing views.
COVID-19 and the Shift to Overt Censorship
While some observers argue that covert censorship has existed for decades, the COVID-19 pandemic marked a significant shift to more open and blatant suppression of dissenting views. Platforms like Facebook, for instance, were pressured by the Biden Administration to suppress content that deviated from the mainstream narrative. What was once a subtle silencing of opposing voices became an open battle against free speech during the pandemic.
As censorship becomes more normalized, we are witnessing the spread of overt suppression across the globe. The ability to express dissenting views is under threat, as governments feel empowered to censor any speech they find inconvenient or dangerous to their agenda.
Elon Musk’s Warning and the Threat to Free Speech
Elon Musk, a vocal advocate for free speech, has warned that X (formerly Twitter) might face a shutdown in the United States if Kamala Harris gains power. The implications of such a move would be staggering. If one of the world’s most influential social media platforms is silenced, it could set a dangerous precedent for the future of free expression in the U.S.
Adding to this troubling trend, leftist media outlets, such as The New York Times, have subtly endorsed the silencing of free speech. They frame the U.S. Constitution and its guarantee of free expression as threats to their vision of progress. Instead of valuing freedom of speech as a cornerstone of democracy, they view it as an obstacle to achieving the societal change they seek.
Censorship as a Prelude to Rebellion
While futurist regimes justify censorship as necessary for democracy, this narrative often serves as a prelude to rebellion. The more a regime tightens its control over speech and thought, the more it ignites resistance among the populace. Elites anticipate rebellion, knowing full well that widespread dissatisfaction can lead to large-scale upheaval. Though they may hope to control it, their greatest fear remains: a rebellion they cannot suppress.
In summary, the rise of authoritarianism through leftist ideologies represents a growing threat to traditional values, free speech, and societal stability. The shift from covert to overt censorship, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, signals a troubling trend. If left unchecked, these regimes may continue to suppress dissent under the guise of progress, all while pushing societies closer to large-scale rebellion.
