Immunity to Authoritarianism

1. Free speech - however, free speech does not automatically guard from propaganda
2. Critical thinking - this plus free speech can guard from propaganda. This is a big one - so that people don't get manipulated. But if people do not have security or self-esteem - critical thinking is not possible. If people are psychologically damaged, positive psychology may be impossible, in which case psychological integration must take place
3. Rebeliousness, which comes from critical thinking and not accepting unearned authority. This leads to becoming aRadical Man
4. Material well-being - if people do not have their material needs provided, then they may get taken advantage of by those who provide for them. Thus, abilities and productivity - especially entrepreneurial savvy - are a guard against becoming materially insecure
5. Democratic institution - fair judicial system, law and order, and enforcement against agressors is critical
6. Hope - it is for the sake of those without hope that hope is given. Inspiring, just systems.
