    Is the Democratic Republic Of North Korea a Democracy? Because you’re trying to say yes.

    Like I said, it’s called contextual nuance and you have no grasp of it.

    You can continue acting stupid, but in your case I’m not sure it’s an act.

      No, it’s not a democracy because it doesn’t even bother following actual democratic principles. It’s just like Napoleon’s idea of democracy: I am the people, therefore if I have absolute power I’m being democratic.

      Basically Cuba on steroids

        Exactly, and that’s why everything you’ve ever known as communism and socialism is in exactly the same boat. They didn’t follow the actual communistic or socialist principals. They were all little north Korea pretending to be those things.

            Like I said, you can continue acting stupid, but in your case it’s probably not an act.

                You’ve never read a book in your life, you have no clue what that phrase means. You have just proven yourself genuine and not an actor. You are a moron.

                  How do you give the means of production to a concept (the collective) if not by giving it to the institution that supposedly represents it (the state)?

                    By actually distributing the value generated to the workers. It doesn’t require the state to do anything except legislate paying workers their worth. Adequately taxing those with means to pay for social services for those without. You know, actually benefitting the lowest rung of the social hierarchy beyond letting them beg for scraps and die.

                    I’ll give you a hint, no one is being paid what they’re worth while a profit margin exists because every dollar of profit is a dollar exploited from the supplier, the worker, and the customer, for the benefit of the mini kings of capitalism.
