Let me reword that. We have no liberal democracies as we thought of them in the 90s.

Best part of all this is there are still probably people who think that leftists are the anti-democratic ones...

No. But that's largely because we were lied to on the definition.

Everyone knows that "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" doesn't mean "Working People control the government". It means "One Guy In a Hardhat Is The King". Now lets re-litigate every historical event between 1917 and 1945, while drawing parallels back to the modern moment and insisting tankies stole the election.
