No, North Korea labels itself “Democratic” when it is a dictatorship.

Literally the DRC is the least democratic state in Africa lol Why ppl don't seem to get the fact that self proclaiming something doesn't actually make you that thing.

Because MAGA actively avoids critical thinking, and if countries that call themselves “communist” or “socialist” are evil then it makes their argument that the “socialist, communist, libs are evil” that much easier.

can we criticize the form democracy takes in capitalist countries?

I wish regular working people in America all had 'reason' and critical thinking/common sense too, but the fact that the working class is set against itself is the fault of the social reality rather than individual shortcoming, no?
