@Plankton describe to me the political system of cuba

Muh capitalism

I swear no one even thinks about capitalism other than the people against it

I could write paragraphs about how stupid this post is and how stupid it makes you out to be

I could write a book to speak of the unfathomable depths your stupidity has gone to root itself in your mind

But I digress

Sure thing @americana, it’s a de jure socialist state with a largely state owned economy (thought that’s slowly changing), with brutal political repression (again, not as bad as it used to be). It has on paper a legislature but much like China it is a single party affair. The President of course is the leader of the Communist Party

That moment when 98% of Cuba gathered in over 700,000 committees to conduct a constitutional referendum but you’re undemocratic

The president of Cuba isn’t even the head of the party the only way to achieve such is to win all elections that achieve both of the positions

The current President is literally the head of the party.

One party states are not democracies.

democracy is when u have parties and the more parties u have the more democratic u are

this is why frat boys are the most democratic

LOL just because the current president of the government is head of party doesn’t mean that one led to the other

The communist party cannot promote or campaign for any candidates, as is stated under law. In fact, candidates for any election cannot make electoral promises or fund their campaigns, even party members. You don’t even have to be a member of the party to run for the government

Before the current guy the head of state was also the leader of the party. Before that it was Castro, a f***ing dictator. Another thing democracies don’t have

Was Franklin d Roosevelt a dictator?

Being a dictator is when you are extremely popular

this is really a false statement showing you know nothing about the life there and the how it was before 2014, especially in small business segment. the fact that the west paid more attention at corruption in ukraine after that doesn't mean it became more corrupted. after maidan bribes stopped working that easy in all fields, somewhere the prices just went up, somewhere there was actual hunt for corrupters. ukraine remained corrupted as divided oligarchy was there, but it was an actual shift from post-soviet racketeering system. when yanukovych was a president small business was pain in the ass and i know what i'm talking about. it got racketeered by government heavily like in russia. and if you think these countries are the same now, you just a clown. you know nothing about life in ukraine neither in russia, but for some reason you state things as factuals just copying messages from twitter. are you an idiot, seriously?

Once again I’m quoting a research project from the Kyiv Institute of Sociology

test tube selections always work right, what demographics it represents and could you actually address anything i wrote like at all? the last question is the important one but feel comfortable to ignore it

you don't know the subject, neither russians nor ukrainians, don't know how businesses & politics operate in both countries, just meaningless quoting what you don't understand properly. i'm not even talking about specifics and inner natural factors which you for obvious reasons can't comperhend

And that s*** failed didn't it, objectives changed over the course of the war since Russia overestimated their military superiority

They abandoned anything involving regime change or "denazification" from their peace demands

No NATO + recotnition of sovereignty is what the demands for the peace deal was, it's public information idk why you're denying this.
Zelensky not even wanting to recognize the Crimea is also public information

Just because I'm not sucking Zelensky & NATO d*** like you doesn't mean I care for Russia

No it's not lol

Plenty of times democratic countries go against US interests and then the US gotta coup em

Also plenty of times dictatorships follow US interests

It has absolutely nothing to do with democracy you don't actually believe that narrative do you?

You have absolutely no f***ing idea what you're talking about

Academic paper on popular participation in Cuba's political system which looked at how the 2016-2021 five year plan was written as one example:

163k assemblies
8.9m people attending
579k contributions

But @Plankton said there's not enough democratic participation because not enough political parties per capita
