    This will spark valid discussion and not invoke weird tribalism that ignores the fact that we’re all ruled by the rich under all of those systems. No siree. Just valid, non-divisive, discussions happening for this one.

      “We’re ruled by the rich in all of these systems!” when the issue being talked about is some basic level of democracy is missing the point entirely, jfc.

      Some of these states take actual steps to limit the power and influence of the rich…

              Sorry I thought you could perform basic subtraction. Those would be the USSR, China, and Cuba.

                Oh I just wanted to see if you were ignorant enough to say it out loud.

                This isn’t .ml bud. We don’t lick boots here.

                By the way. You saying this dumb shit violates rule 2 of this community.

                    Rule 2: No tankies.

                    I don’t moderate the community. I didn’t make the rules, but pro Russia/China bullshit doesn’t being here.

                Sure, the USA’s 2 party system is kind of shit, but China literally only has 1 party ruled by a single guy for whom the term limits have been lifted in 2018.

                  Did you guys read this whole comment thread? I feel like you’re not replying to what I’m talking about.
