Yeah, but "democracy" looks exactly like western liberal democracy, right? Multiple parties and uses some European country as an example? All third world countries are dictatorships and should bow down to the superior ways of their white overlords? Or they just don't know what real democracy looks like and they're misled by Islam or something? Real democracy is a racist as fuck country like Finland, that has de-industrialized, has an economy of basically only consumers, exports nothing and imports everything from the global south that carries the social and environmental burden of actually producing everything? Democratic socialism seems to only be for the imperial core, the rest of the world is just too backwards to understand it, I guess.

(These are rhetorical questions, I know it's not what you sound like, but it's what it seems like all of you people are implying with pretend civility.)

If you don't both-sides the genocide of Palestinians or the war on Iran, by bringing up that they aren't democratic systems of government so that somehow makes them deserve getting bombed more than if they were. (If you do, then I just don't have to talk to you.) If you can believe that, than you do actually believe that the struggle against imperialism matters more than the ideals of democracy.
