Portrayal of Western democracy as a “new totalitarianism” and ideological dictatorship

What it claims

Western liberal institutions and global corporations are cast as architects of a hidden dictatorship that surpasses the regimes of the past in its level of control. Modern legal norms and anti-fascist movements are portrayed as tools for suppressing objective truth and manipulating society through fear. Authors draw parallels between the current order and the Soviet past, attributing signs of ideological “rottenness” and total surveillance to the democratic world. Democratic values are branded as a project for the radical transformation of human nature.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• Modern Western states use corporations like BlackRock to establish a new totalitarianism based on total surveillance.

• Western elites manage society through fear, much like communist regimes did to create “homo sovieticus.”

Goal

Weaken support for Western institutions among Poles by discrediting the democratic system as a form of oppression.

Techniques used

• Loaded LanguageUse of terms such as “new totalitarianism,” “rotten West,” and “instrument of disciplining.”
• Exaggeration or MinimisationClaims that the current level of surveillance in the West surpasses Orwell's fantasies.

The real grievance it exploits

Fears among parts of Polish society regarding the loss of sovereignty, excessive corporate influence, and ideological pressure from the EU.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Note the use of historical trauma: comparing democratic procedures to Nazism or Stalinism is a classic technique for devaluing civil liberties.
