America has democracy??

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Officially.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Allegedly

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

It's a Republic because the wealthy knew the people would get it wrong and they needed representative government rather than democracy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Ostensibly. On paper.

Not only does it have democracy, it also has socialism! You just have to be ultra rich or a mega corporation.

To be fair, subsidies aren't really Socialism. Socialism is more about who owns the Means of Production than it is who gets the benefits from the state.
