      You don’t know what a dictatorship is. So far there isn’t a form of government that hasn’t. But unlike a dictatorship, the democracies improved

        Very few modern states are settler states based on native eviction: only the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel.

        The major colonialist powers of the last few hundred years were a tiny number of european nations.

        The US and other capitalist states based on representative democracy aren’t democracies, and you’d be hard-pressed to find ppl saying they’re improving.
