All the others?
Name one. One actually concrete form of democracy that would work better.
Whatever its called that cuba does where national representation is organized and chosen at the local level. Idk im not a political scientist.
But also name ten that are worse
Bu what metric does that system work though? It’s hard to judge it because the info is all unreliable and the government doesn’t share data. We don’t know how bad or good wealth inequality is there.
I answered your question but you didn't answer mine.
By what metric does the US system work?
Standard of living is relatively high in the U.S.
Is that because of bourgeois representative democracy, or because of the imperialist exploitation of the global south?
What are you talking about? China is not imperialist
How do you define "working"? Otherwise I don't know how you're measuring it. Would you say that a system that allows for literally one of the most unpopular genocides in history is "working"? Or a system that is working overtime to increase income and wealth disparity rather than reduce it? Is that working? I certainly wouldn't but I'm guessing you think that's working swell
Even the US State Department dropped the made-up Uighur genocide. When will you dumbass libs get it
