democracy is such a total fraud that even a cruel and repressive dictatorship like NK, or Cuba (a far freer society than NK), with its scary block warden thought police, is more free. There is no hint of dialectics here, no sense of how the precious freedoms of bourgeois democracy represent literally centuries of struggle from below against arbitrary power. The attitude seems to be a simple mirror image reversal of the flatheaded right wing reflex that this society is perfect because of freedoms the right disapproves of. . . .

You must be new around here.
