Anti-democratic ideologies

Anti-democratic ideologies oppose or undermine democratic principles such as political equality, free elections, and government accountability. They may promote authoritarian rule, centralize power in a single leader or party, suppress dissent, or reject individual rights in favor of strong centralized control. These ideologies often prioritize nationalist, militarist, or traditionalist values over inclusive participation and may use propaganda to justify their methods. Essentially, they challenge the foundation of democratic systems by seeking to limit or eliminate the people's role in decision-making and restrict political freedoms.
