When nobody in power will lift a finger to earn your vote but they’re falling all over themselves trying to stomp out a robust protest movement, that tells you what the powerful are actually afraid…
democracy on socialist places is done more through popular participation. leaders should be afraid of the masses, its how democracy is really made.
and if we had more of it now we would probably be achieving many socialist-leaning leftist policies instead of the current status quo. hell most of the rights we still have were achieved that way.
Just to be THAT pedant. There have never been communist regimes. There are authoritarian, regimes who like to talk about the concepts and misuse the word constantly. While doing the least communist sort of things one could imagine. But those are Marxist leninist and not communist. It’s like magats larping as patriots.
As seen in all communist regimes and to a lesser degree most non communist ones too.
