the United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them. — Julius Nyerere

I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no “two evils” exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say… — W.E.B. Du Bois

youre describing different quantitative levels of authority , but too much or too little authority it is. autoritarism means authority is present. water is wet. furthermore there is a lack of semantics. is this authorit exercised against the zionists or the palestinians and so on?

i am from the global south so yes, i know what it is when you call my korean brothers authoritarian. it means enemy of the usonian empire

Spain relies heavily on US LNG. I dont see this lasting longp

A State is supposed to exercise authority, so by saying X country (enemy of the Usonian Empire) is authoritarian you’re basically saying “There is a State”. Basically doublespeak Usonian propaganda.

typical lemmy.world shit take

I’d bet money on PieFed being a CIA op.

The thing is that Lemmy.ml is a general purpose instance, it’s not about promoting Marxism, but still it upholds values that for certain people look like inconceivable requisites. We do not ask you to become a communist, but simply to understand that the rules based order imposed by the US do not apply here. We want to hear what oppressed people cannot say elsewhere.
