      You get to vote in socialist democracies like China, Cuba, USSR, etc. You’ve been told you can’t. Who told you this?

      If you don’t believe me, look up the process for how the Cuban 2019 constitution and 2022 family code were drafted. Socialist democracy is more advanced and democratic than liberal democracies.

        Sure you do, as long as you vote for the candidate that the state prefers. Again, look up “Wir gehen falten”.

          That isn’t how soviet style democracies work. For example, the municipal assemblies of Cuba have multiple candidates for each seat, which are not chosen by the party. Those councils then choose a national representative for their municipality, which is confirmed by a popular vote.

          Again, look up “Wir gehen falten”.

          Link to what you’re referring to please, I didn’t find anything interesting in the search.
