What are some books on struggle against anti-democratic forces like communist totalitarianism, fascism, theocratic dictatorship? My emphasis is on the anti-democratic forces that are often marked by political repression, personality cultism, control over the economy, restriction of speech, mass surveillance and widespread use of state terrorism.

You forgot to mention Liberal Democracy, which intervened in elections, overturned elections, supporting undemocratic power grabs/coups and supporting undemocratic "Liberal Dictatorships."

Requesting recommendations on texts which discuss lobbyists and how to fight constituent over representation through financial gain. I feel the greatest enemy of democracy is not that which is not democracy, but the demons within it.
