    I’m sick of you fifth column, tankie arseholes. Stop pretending authoritarian one party states are real democracies.

    Then why don’t you go back to Reddit?

    Real democracies in the west transformed their respective countries through diplomatic and consensual ways, and achieved far more through multi party elections than violent insurrections did.

    Those aren’t real democracies, though. They’re bourgeois democracies; they’re oligarchies. They’re the best governments money can buy. Previously.

      Yeah, Nelson mandela got more of what he wanted as a terrorist than as President, same for Pepe Mujica. When he was robbing banks and getting thrown in jail, he did more for Uruguay than when he was president.

      When Clement Atlee established a modern welfare state in Britain , with social housing and the NHS, it was a fucking sellout to the banks that he did.

      What they all should have done was establish a one party, hereditary state like North Korea, or held onto power with an iron fist like Fidel.
