My answer on Quiora.
They differ with respect to latitude of control, national, geographic and ethnic character, economic policies and societal/political ideologies. What they do have in common though is rule by a selected elite, forced shutdown of opposition, governance by decree, significant manipulation of the press narrative by a the holders of power and a lack of toleration for individual and group dissent. There is also an obvious fusion of the executive, legislative and judiciary into a centralized authority. If you see any of these factors creeping into the policies of a supposed democratic nation be very concerned about the trajectory.
