    Not electing their leaders. You see, representative government refers to having elections to choose your leaders. Something the West has had, and the East has not. You guys really are not worth responding to at this point. You have an outrage boner based on reading my post wrong. Which is not surprising for somebody on the meme group to not know the definitions of government, or the historical definitions of Eastern and Western governments.

      China, the largest country in the world and part of “the east” has their president elected by a series of local representatives who are directly elected in local elections. Chinese democracy is and has been far more robust than anything in what you consider “the west” (which conveniently discounts the existence of Cuba lmao)

      We’re laughing at you because it’s obvious you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about and you’re just regurgitating the same boring ass CIA propaganda we’ve heard and debunked a million times.

      Which is not surprising for somebody on the meme group to not know the definitions of government, or the historical definitions of Eastern and Western governments.

      lmfao please keep going.
