the democracy index

a fake statistic that elevates bourgeois democracies and denigrates any country where the people have power.

Yeah countries which the US has couped in my parent’s lifetimes are more democratic than Cuba, where residents sometimes complain that the government consults them too much and which regularly has referendums over measures refined up from local committees everywhere until they have a measure to vote on.

😂 You know who defines the metrics for democracy indexes? Liberals who wouldn’t know democracy if it bit them in the ass. People who believe in bourgeois democracy.

Economist Intelligence Unit is by venerable rag of the bourgeoisie, The Economist. Karl Marx himself called it, “the tribune of the aristocracy of finance.”

The US score is 7.8, even though it is not a democracy and never was.

Most in China Call Their Nation A Democracy, Most in U.S. Say America Isn’t
