    where you vote for a party and then find out it is run by some rich dude.

    That’s how neither of the last three work. To keep it short the last three are:

    • settler colonial state where genocide has popular support.
    • mafia-state where reality doesn’t matter
    • Indirect democracy dominated by a party particing Democratic-Centralism.

    edit: who is the secret rich dude running Russia and China if its not Putin and Xi? 🤣
