Description

Seventy-two percent of the world's population lives under some sort of autocratic rule, says freedom fighter Leopoldo Lopez. In a rousing call to defend democracy worldwide, he shares the story of his imprisonment and exile for leading the movement against Venezuela's authoritarian regime — and shares his vision for uniting across borders to champion freedom and stamp out autocracy.

Freedom is freedom. Democracy is democracy. It is important to have certain level of freedom. On the other hand, democracy does not always do more good than harm. More people choosing a certain choice does not mean it is the right choice.
