Many countries include ‘Democratic’ or ‘People’s’ in their names, even though they are not democratic and do not serve their people. Examples: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Lao People’s Democratic Republic People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Democratic Republic of the Congo And German Democratic Republic (East Side) in 1949–1990. None of these states are democratic, power and wealth are concentrated in the hands of a small ruling elite. Who are they fooling with these names?
OH yeah? Wanna bet? I’m a contrarian and I have LOTS of wiggle room.
Just sayin’.
(Just being silly because I have long described myself as a contrarian and so rarely find anyone who knows the word, so it’s quite pleasant and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. lol)
