Augusto Pinochet, Chile’s former dictator, ruled for 16 years in the name of “authoritarian democracy,” and then attempted to leave behind what he called a “protected democracy.” Today’s would-be strongmen speak of “popular” or “Bolivarian” democracy.
智利前独裁者皮诺切特曾以“威权民主”的名义统治该国16年，并试图在此后留下他所谓的“受保护的民主”。如今的准强人们大谈“民粹”或“玻利瓦尔”民主。时代在变化，但有一点没有改变：真正的民主不需要定语。
