Comment on Biden warns of ultra-wealthy 'oligarchy' threatening US democracy in farewell address to the nation
ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks agoNot to nitpick, but it has never been a true democracy and was never intended to be one. It’s technically a democratic republic. At least nominally: it’s been a plutocracy and a gerontocracy for a long time, and it’s about to become a broligarchy.

You’re literally just repeating my sarcasm back at me like nerd

Sure but it maybe helps others to understand your sarcasm 🤗

I would hope the emoji made it clear that “us has never been a democracy” paired with Marx Engels and Lenin would get the gears turning for some people, and anyone that already read any of that would understand the point. This is an explicitly communist instance after all.
People are free to ask questions but unfamiliar users from other instances outside of lemmygrad and slightly less so lemmy.ml are rightfully treated with suspicion.

😮 their post is right wing? I see me as left wingy and seem to agree with the person that answered your comment, thinking you two were talking about the same thing?
