In this episode, I’m joined by Aaron Steven Thoming, a US citizen. We speak about democide, liberties, and freedoms - a citizen's perspective. Aaron has lived for years in the east (Taiwan, China, and South Korea). He is a Strategic Communications expert.
Highlights of the conversation:
- A comparative analysis of pre-democratic Taiwan and current eSwatini.
- How Taiwan transformed into a democratic state - a likely path for eSwatini.
- Democide (murder by government of its own citizens) in eSwatini, Taiwan (pre-democracy), China, Russia, etc.
- Governments have murdered hundreds of millions of their citizens and those under their control.
- Governments are far more deadly to their own citizens when they hold a monopoly on the use of force.
- Democide surpasses war as the #1 cause of unnatural death in the 20th century.
- It is estimated that there have been 262 million victims of democide in the last century… Six times as many people have died from the actions of people working for governments than have died in battle.
- Dictators always resist calls for democracy.
- Freedoms and Liberties US, Taiwan, China, and South Korea - a citizen's experience on liberties and freedoms.
- The importance of the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution - a citizen’s perspective. The 2nd Amendment provides: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
