Ok, let's say the stated intent was to make those countries more democratic (equal/fair/politically correct/etc), if the end result is having less of that, or if they moved directionally wrong, what would be your judgement then?
-
Interested in that too although the original question was rather « what’s Soros influence » , not « how good it is ». There are ppl whose pilitics align /w Soros so he must make them happy.

Depends who you ask. Facts don’t matter etc. I am strictly discussing on the persuasion level here. I trust you to make your own educated mind in the politics etc

Personnally though I don’t validate regime change as a valid way to improve a democracy. Also I note the Soros push for Maidan actually put some real bona fide Neo Nazi in real power situation in Ukrain. I’d rather have him sit on his thumbs nowadays.

Democracy is ~not~ the opposite of tyranny. Pre WWII Germany was a democracy, the USSR was a democracy, Sadam Husain’s Iraq was a democracy, Turkey is a democracy. Higher central control economies lead to tyranny. Decentralized economy leads to freedom. Democracy!=liberty

There are so many counter examples to your middle statement the opposite could be argued as well.

I think we agree that fighting for freedom is the opposite of fighting against freedom. That's the only point.

Freedom vs Democracy Whatever its virtues democracy is not freedom. As the 19th Century philosopher Alexis d'Toqueville warned in his classic Democracy In America a democracy can be just as tyrannical as a dictatorship once voters decide to vote themselves money from the treasury

de, not d' (sorry for the nitpicking, I am lucky to have read Tocqueville original words in my native language. Mindblowing depth and accuracy in his writing) Individual freedom is at the core of democracy for him. Reread him or check Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_de_Tocqueville#Democracy_in_America …
