To describe Russia and China as any kind of democracy flies in the face of anyones understanding of the word ‘democracy’.
Russia and Chinaboperate in a closed version of fascism and dictatorships. The people are like mushrooms: Fed on shot and kept in the dark. If it was anything like real democracy, why does the state control internal and external media. Both countries have an unsustainable fear of their people discovering the truth as it really is.
That is nothing like any kind of democracy anywhere else in the world. It is also the main reason that the Soviet Union collapsed. Hiding the truth from people is shameful. The corruption that exists in the west is at least available to the people.
