        You think the USSR, DPRK, and so on are any different? What definition of communism are you using, my dude?

        I’d we’d like to talk about genocides in countries that don’t say they’re communist? There’s the Holocaust, ^Armenia, ^^Rwanda, ^^^Bangladesh, ^^^^Romania, ^^^^^Greece, ^^^^^^Assyria, ^^^^^^^Serbia/Croatia, ^^^^^^^^Chechnya

            • two defenitions from the urban dictionary

              1. A form of government where the leader is chosen by popularity rather than ability to run a country. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; democracy simply doesn’t work.” -Kent Brockman by IKEM (?) on urban dictionary

              2. Taken from the Greek ‘demos’ and ‘kratos’ (‘people’ and ‘power’ respectively), it refers to the system of government in which the entire population effectively rules through a concentrated body which relies on the population’s opinion as a source for its policies. The French Revolution was sparked by ideals of liberty and democracy for all. by ryanM on urban dictionary

              that’s what democracy is
