First, this was a year of policy failures for authoritarian governments. The war in Ukraine is the obvious example, but there were other important examples — like China's zero Covid policy — that blew up in various regime's faces. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not an accident: the very structure of authoritarian regimes makes them more prone to this kind of failure than democratic ones. Their leaders are insulated from accurate information and don't always have incentives to make good policy choices. — PolitiTweet.org
