    This is, to put it nicely, one of the most libbed up r/iamverysmart comments I have ever read.

    The problem is not any single aspect of liberal democracy, the problem is the entire liberal political economy underpinning capitalism.

    This whole comment is dripping with smugness and naivete in equal measure. The answer has been right in front of us for over 100 years and it rhymes with ommunism.

      Wow, smugness and libbed up … not sure how, but there’s nothing quite like playing the person, not the ball.

      I see no working example of Communism anywhere on Earth, plenty of semi-dictatorships that claim to be communist and so far not particularly welcoming for human rights or gender equality, never mind quality of life.

        Dictatorships of the proletariat. It’s the opposite of the liberal shitholes ruled by the rich. It’s when the PEOPLE run the state. Far more democratic when the majority are making the decisions.
