    Bourgeios “democracy” isn’t actually a people’s democracy, even though its sold as one. Its really an oligarchy/aristocracy/capitalist dictatorship.

    We shouldn’t allow capitalists to define democracy as bourgeios parliamentarism, especially when that form of government works against the interests of the vast majority of people.

        Socialist / people’s democracy. It takes different forms in different countries, and many countries in the global south that are currently capitalist are starting on that socialist road.

            You’ll need to educate yourself on the history of socialist states yourself, I can’t do that for you.

            A good place to start is the PRC’s five dont’s, a list of things to avoid at all costs from bourgeois democracy.
