Imma bring up an example to maybe explain it easier. North Korea calls itself the “Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea”. In their official understanding/rhetoric they have a democracy in which the administration acts in the interest of the people instead of a few bureaucratic elites. In reality it’s the other way around.
Now, if someone said “Look at what democracy does to a country!!11!”, would you not object?
Lmao you are literally the ‘but that’s not real socialism/communism’ meme right now 🤣

God damn that is an excellent, concise refutation of his tired point. Definitely going to borrow that argument in the future
yeah… the cognitive dissonance hurts
