How to Activate Civil Society’s Pillars of Support

“Like the columns of a building, pillars [of support] are so named because they provide resources and legitimacy that hold up the “roof” of government.”

“The cases span over 15 countries—both democracies and autocracies—across five pillars of support: businesses, unions, security forces and veterans, professional associations (such as nonprofits), and faith organizations.”

    @resist прави ми впечатление, че тези 5 колони много добре отразяват какво са поразили комунистите в България през 1945 и какво в момента Рапона и Шиши стискат здраво.

    Бих добавил само спортните клубове, но те сигурно влизат в professional association.

    @resist “This formula—size, diversity, and tactical innovation—can overwhelm autocrats and their supporters, frustrate attempts to neutralize…dissent, and encourage defections.”
