So many people throughout the world keep getting tricked by someone taking advantage of the "people's/workers/democracy" ideology only to use it to enrich themselves and bring death and destruction to their enemies, how does this keep happening?
The only way I know to protect myself against it is to not give a shit what people call themselves. I've abandoned all interest in labels, and instead just focus on pragmatic good. Are you a People's Socialist Worker's Party? That's nice, I just want better wages and living conditions, what are you actually doing to achieve that? Oh you're not, you're just claiming you are while doing the exact opposite? Why does everyone keep getting fooled by this?
