You know, it's funny.

Democracy is essentially a prerequisite for a nation to be considered civilized in the 21st century. Obviously, they claim to be a democracy. They clearly aren't. Nobody believes them.

Socialism and communism are failed ideologies that degenerate into dictatorships. They have never worked anywhere in the world, not even once. These people have every incentive in the world to hide their ideology and pretend that it's actually something else. But they don't. They're proud of their communism nonsense. They'll tell you to your face about their socialist ideals. I have videos of our current president giving lengthy speeches on the subject matter. I remember one particularly troublesome video he made just before the elections where he straight up said the state should confiscate everybody's inheritances and give you nothing but what you need to survive.

But somehow it's news to people, the fact these guys are socialists. I have to point it out constantly. People inevitably respond with skepticism. I have to cite evidence every single time. And when I do cite all the things which back up my world view, people just ignore all of it and call me a conspiracy theorist. Like the other guy did in this comments section.
