Please find a Marxist against democracy. Your question is framed in an incorrect manner.

You have to imagine other people have no idea about Marxism but what they've heard from US propaganda. When they hear you support China, Cuba, and Vietnam, they just hear you supporting dictator for life Xi Jinping and one party state Cuba and Vietnam. You guys need better answers than this.

The other person's answer was pretty good, though.

My point is to get them to do some questioning on their own, and challenge the pretenses. Sometimes this approach works better as the other person comes to a new conclusion on their own.

Okay you don't want democracy, but how do you deal with dictators like putin always creeps into the system and takes over if you can't vote them out?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I do want Democracy. What are you talking about?

See your first post...

But dodge the question again lol

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I asked you to find a Marxist against Democracy because that mythical anti-Democracy Marxist doesn't exist.

It isn't a dodge, it's like you asking veterinarians why they like screwing cats and dogs.
