All I know is a plutocracy that feigns being a democracy, but that is democratic in name only. There is no public participation with political decisions, though the people have “the vote.” There is no meaningful conversation about social issues beyond distractor issues that have no bearing on the ability of the rulers to extract. The virtues of capitalism are common sense among the masses, but socialism exists for the rich. Freedom is glorified and overflowing, but only so long as you choose to pursue activities that don’t impede the ruling class.
