Just because you don't know how denocracy functions in AES countries, doesn't mean democracy is not existing. Anymore than just because you think think liberal democracy works, it in fact does not.
Socialist nations are more democratic than liberal democracies. If you informed yourself of that instead of assuming that they are not democracies we could have a real conversation, instead of you making a bunch of uniformed statements based on western propoganda as if i haven't heard them before
I know you think they aren't democracies because i used to believe that. That's what we're told to believe in the West, its our recieved ideology. Nothing that you're saying is new, or novel, or something that hasn't yet been considered by amyone in the last 200 years
Why do I have to inform myself again if I informed myself to get to this conclusion? If I was wrong, wouldn't I get to the same conclusion without help?
I discussed ways in which the Soviet Union and PRC get some democratic buy-in. How am I wrong?
