'''''Autocracy, Inc.''''' is a 2024 book by Anne Applebaum.<br />
<br />
== Summary ==<br />
Anne Applebaum, a historian and journalist, argues that modern autocracies cooperate through networks of shared financial, technological and propaganda interests rather than a common ideology.<br />
<br />
=== Networks, not blocs ===<br />
Applebaum describes how regimes such as those in Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela and others support one another with money, surveillance technology, diplomatic cover and coordinated messaging.<br />
<br />
=== Controlling the narrative ===<br />
A major section covers propaganda: state media networks that operate globally, the amplification of each other's narratives, and the strategy of undermining belief in democracy and in the possibility of objective truth rather than promoting a positive alternative.<br />
<br />
=== Relevance to Bullshitopedia ===<br />
A recent overview of how state propaganda now operates internationally, linking many current entries on state disinformation.<br />
