corruption
A prime locale to talk bribery, suspect campaign funding, and all other instances of political corruption. The shadier, the better.
Dissolving Evil Empire:
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR, was actually just a euphemism for "Russia" in a delusional attempt at self-justification because, to my knowledge, not one of the countries making up this so-called “Union” joined willingly. Enormous threats, purges, incarcerations, torture, deportations, & genocides were employed to bring everyone into this bogus "Union."

Preventing dictatorship
Preventing dictatorship Say no to the one-party state. Britain has a constitutional monarchy, and this is a protection that obstructs the takeover, by those who would wish to remove democracy. For those without the understanding of the often obscure and labyrinthine, social structures of Britain, the following may help. The monarchy has influence, mostly social but with some political aspects, but no real power. The King or Queen cannot make laws, they cannot overrule the government or parliament. The Government cannot dismiss parliament, but parliament can bring down the government. These aspects of the British constitution lessen the chance of an enforced one-party state. At least one that follows the design that the fascist/communists prefer. Other nations have not evolved the same preventive measures. Even in Britain and in the United States of America, it is possible to have a period where too much power is controlled by those who wish to prevent democracy from succeeding. It is possible to use “puppet” politicians and the “useful idiots” who can be manipulated into believing they are doing things for the good of the nation, when they are only doing things that benefit their controllers. But governments in Britain and the USA have limited timespans, they have to seek re-election. While there are flaws in both electoral systems and while the media can be manipulated, it is hard to prevent public criticism of the governments record. Only in a one-party state is it possible for the ruling party to prevent the emergence of public opposition. With such public criticism and a reasonable level of “secret, free and fair” ballots a complete take over is difficult.

People Call Me a Liberal, As If That’s An Insult
One thing I openly own and love about myself: I’m a bleeding heart liberal. I care for all people who are good humans. The marginalized groups of society are my family. I love the LGBTQ community. I don’t give a good goddamn whether you have a problem with that or not.
