    Would you use a monarch’s definition of democracy to define democracy?

    Do you think that definition would be fair or even accurate?

    Because you are using a capitalist definition of socialism, which is just as unfair and inaccurate.

      I do use a monarch’s definition of democracy. Or rather, I use the worst things a type of government has done to define whether it meets its ideals. Communism disappeared people who criticized the leadership, democracy is a witch trial on a national scale, and monarchy is an asshole who has a private army running a protection racket.
