The leaders of the “axis of autocrats” have more in common than style alone. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela bear the same hallmarks: Their economies are failing, their societal legitimacy is faltering, capital is fleeing, and their youth are breaking free. The autocrats’ bluster and bravado don’t fool those of us who believe in freedom, rights, and democracy. Far from being 10-feet tall, the autocrats are as weak as the societies they have broken. I’m going out like I came in: Never afraid to share my views.
