Will Democracy stand? Will tyranny rule?...

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

Any system of the world that can be shaken IS being shaken this year including democracy. 

We have talked at length this year about totalitarian societies--but we haven't talked much about how democracies can turn into totalitarian tyranny (and the antidote).

Be sure to stay tuned till the end with a great Weaver and Loom segment.
