The Soviet Union was more democratic than North Korea. And that's a low fucking bar.

Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide or atrocity denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

I wonder if they have some really specific definition of democracy or if they are just out of their mind. The US has seen a lot of democratic backsliding but it's still leaps and bounds better than the de facto absolute monarchy that is NK
They simply live in la-la land, where the US are the Great Satan and everyone who is against them must therefore be good. I'm not in any way implying that the US are not the Great Satan, just to be clear. Just that that doesn't make all the small satans any better.
Well, we've been an oligarchy from day one. But at least with some semblance of democracy.
