    Nah I get that you think people should take your drivel seriously. You must spend a lot of time sniffing your own farts when you’re not making a clown of yourself in public.

      Well then I’ll be happy if you exlpain me how you think the democracy and the perception of democracy can be measured scientifically through different populations in (very few) different countries without it being just a biased bunch of numbers.

        Democracy means a government that serves the majority, and answers to them. Its most important measure lies the steady rise in people’s living standards. But perception matters too, do citizens believe their government works for them?

        In the West, most don’t. And why would they? They watch their livelihoods shrink while oligarchs, the real rulers of capitalist regimes, gorge themselves on the exploitation of the working class. In China, people call their system democratic, because it is. They’ve witnessed the fastest improvement in living standards in human history. That’s not just democracy in theory. It’s democracy in practice.
