Many countries include ‘Democratic’ or ‘People’s’ in their names, even though they are not democratic and do not serve their people. Examples: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Lao People’s Democratic Republic People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Democratic Republic of the Congo And German Democratic Republic (East Side) in 1949–1990. None of these states are democratic, power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a small ruling elite. Who are they fooling with these names?


Thank you comrade Deepseek o7
Fair enough, you caught me. Did do some edits but the explanation Qwen gave was way better then anything I could’ve put together, and IMO better then a lot of the other responses here that didn’t give the other side and just gave the western liberal consensus view it gave at the bottom.
It is the best explanation I read so far. AI seems to be generally good at explaining stuff.
Could be, but the post history doesn’t look genAI to me. (I am no expert in detecting genAI output, tho.)
