​The Shock Doctrine
​"The Shock Doctrine" is a concept coined by the Canadian journalist and author Naomi Klein in her 2007 book. The central idea is that radical economic and social changes (usually toward extreme free-market capitalism) are most easily implemented while the public is in a state of shock following a disaster. ​What is the Shock Doctrine? ​Klein’s theory suggests that "disaster capitalism" exploits crises—whether natural (tsunamis, hurricanes), political (coups, wars), or economic (market crashes)—to push through reforms that would face fierce resistance during normal times. ​The Stages of the Doctrine: ​The Initial Shock: A traumatic event occurs, causing the public to lose its orientation. At this stage, people are focused on survival and are unable to protect their political interests. ​Exploitation: While the public is confused, governments and international bodies (like the IMF) "inject" economic shock therapy: privatizing state assets, deep cuts to social services, and deregulation. ​Late Awakening: By the time the public recovers from the trauma and realizes what has happened, the changes are already anchored in law and are very difficult to reverse. ​Classic Example: After Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, while residents were displaced, the city’s public school system was almost entirely dismantled and replaced with private "charter schools." ​How to Fight the Shock Doctrine ​According to Klein and social activists, the fight against the doctrine is not just political, but primarily cognitive. ​1. Early Identification (The Power of Knowing) ​The most powerful weapon is knowledge. When you understand that this is a "business model," the shock loses its power. As soon as a disaster occurs, the first question should be: "Who is trying to exploit this situation to pass laws unrelated to the crisis?" ​2. Building Community Safety Nets ​The fight against shock begins before the disaster happens. Organized communities with mutual aid networks are less dependent on quick "solutions" from above. The stronger the community, the harder it is to shock it.

In a fragile democracy The far right hates the old, conservative elite whose public Trump embraced . Opponents of legal reform fear a prime minister who tests the limits of kleptocracy and kakistocracy.
