    This does not change the meaning of the word, but rather outlines the general ignorance of those using it.

    I always expect chauvinism from white Canadians talking about democracy but I always hope y’all will be self aware enough to not flaunt it in the middle of your Concerns™.

    Bourgeois democracy is no democracy at all, thank fuck they don’t want to adopt it more closely. The Chinese people would have already been sold out by politicians in the pocket of big corporations, and then westerners would decry how it’s just one of those inevitable things but at least they have their freedom.
