Entry Description

This guide provides 7 steps on how to transform a democratic system into dictatorship. “New Right” is the descriptive term of political right-wing movements and parties – and they are in vogue. Their goal: the authoritarian state; their path: destabilizing and transforming our democracies; their means: populism and disinformation. This guiding principles are translated into design, implementing the dissolution of existing systems, progressive radicalization and network structures in layout, typography and imagery. Reading the guide backwards yields possible answers on how to restore democracy.
