            The US has some serious issues with corruption, but it’s FAR from a dictatorship, lol.

              You are talking to someone who has Stalin’s portrait as his avatar. You might not want to be investing the time into talking to him.

              It’s getting there though due to what Trump did. Hopefully people have the smarts to vote in the next election.

              Highest prison population w/ privately owned prisons, besides the elite class of your country controls what happens in your country (media included), you have no say in it.

                  So you admit the US has the same form of governance that Russia has? Also you could argue that all parliamentary ‘democracies’ are oligarchies or as Marx said ‘dictatorship of the bourgeoisie’

                Is there any state, current or historical, that was not a dictatorship according to this metric?

                Edit: ignore the question, I noticed the Stalin profile pic

                The dollar rules in the US. That is 100% true and is definitely not a good system. However, that doesn’t make it a dictatorship unless you consider money to be their dictator.

                  Money cannot be a a dictator, it’s just pieces of paper with value, however the people who hoard it in massive amounts and use it to exert influence on the system, resulting in laws that favor them and their companies, are.

            This is utter nonsense. If the US was a dictatorship, I wouldn’t be scared to death of the upcoming elections.

              Ask anyone who lived in a US controlled military dictatorship if they are scared of the upcoming elections. (Read the Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins). Besides, both parties are bought out by the bourgeoisie of you country, so nothing is ‘dangerous’, about voting since it will serve the same interests either ways.

                I have never before encountered someone who used the word “bourgeoisie” unironically. So cute! Now say something about the proletariat and the means of production!

                  How about I say that your country will collapse in the next 30ish years, while the rest of the world celebrates. Hopefully you can enjoy the horrors of war that you inflicted in so many places.

          Didn’t he say that’s so sure to be re elected that it doesn’t even need to waste money on useless elections?
