country inherently more democratic than any fucking country you could possibly be posting from by virtue of not being capitalist
Democracy isn’t inherently tied to any economic system. A country could democratically elect to be fascist or socialist. I think being critical of North Korea for their lack of democratic process is a legitimate argument, but you would also have to argue that democracy is always good.
Your contention with his statement should be that democracy isn’t the highest pursuit of social virtue.
The post describes a democratic process while criticizing its “lack of democratic process”
I’m not the op, but I assume they are critical of the quality of the democratic process.
contention with the statement is that OP has shit for brains and doesn’t understand what democracy actually is
I don’t really know what you are utilizing for your definition of democracy?
Capitalism and democracy are mutually exclusive, instead of arguing with me you can argue with Albert Einstein about it:
Again… I would argue that democracy does not equate to equity. I also didn’t claim that democracy is inherently virtuous.
I think my critique of your statement claiming that “North Korea was more democratic because they weren’t capitalist” could be boiled down to that North Korea isn’t more democratic, but democracy isn’t the end all be all of virtuosity that western culture likes to project.
