由《暴政》看科技的運用

早前路過樂文書店,買了這本《暴政》,看看美國學者怎樣看預防暴政這回事。作者 Snyder 主要是因為 Donald Trump 當選美國總統,擔憂美國會逐漸邁向獨裁統治,因而寫成這本小書。

有如預言的警號

此書分為二十個預防暴政出現的要點,告訴讀者應當如何在生活上多加留意及要身體力行,去守護民主自由的制度。作者經常援引歷史事件,主要是納粹德國及共產蘇聯的故事,去說明暴政有何種先兆,以及他所提出的要點為何值得重視。

書中提出的要點很多值得重視,例如要站出來捍衛制度,堅守專業道德,執法者切勿盲從不合理的指令,追求真相,留意濫用緊急法令的政權等等。民眾必需要建立起足夠成熟的公民社會,才可以對抗龐大的極權機器。 作者從歷史汲取教訓,兩年前寫下二十點告戒,而這些警號已經在香港陸續響起。

對科技過份保守
