I believe you miss some crucial information in your argument. An administration which controls tightly a population must appear to be correct. The administration must make the perception its plans are infallible.
It is the perception that the administration’s plans and officials are infallible that it is after. Not the actual actions.
An administration which can confront when its officials can do wrong, which can act on errors instead of hiding them can do well. The perception of its actions take effort and steps to explain.
The reference on such institutions is outside the scope of the current comment. When I started writing, I realised it has to be a very long.
But my opinion is that democratic countries will do well. We might hear more, but their problems will be less. I used to live in an authoritative nation, so there is a difference between the information and the common communication on problems.
Check Hayeks’ writings to see how such communication becomes controlled by marketing ‘authoritative plans’
