Many countries include ‘Democratic’ or ‘People’s’ in their names, even though they are not democratic and do not serve their people. Examples: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Lao People’s Democratic Republic People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Democratic Republic of the Congo And German Democratic Republic (East Side) in 1949–1990. None of these states are democratic, power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a small ruling elite. Who are they fooling with these names?
It’s the same as when a food item says “gourmet” something. 100% it’s crap.
They want the people to feel like it’s for their own good. DPRK and China aren’t oppressive, they’re PROTECTING you from the evils of the world by controlling every aspect of your life.
Shit was comical when China officially came to the US to protest the banning of TicTok and acted like they didn’t own it indirectly. Then talked about how America is oppressive, while TikToc is blocked in their own country along with anything Google, FB, encrypted messaging, the Internet in general. It’s like Hitler trying to prostitute a shop lifter on the basis they’a worse person.
