    Is that how democracy worked when Sankara needed to go? When Hussein needed to go? When Gaddafi needed to go? When Libya, the once single most prosperous nation on the Motherland, needed to be flattened and turned into a hub for the trade of chattel slaves? I spit on your hand-hiding.

      libs don’t care about democracy abroad. It doesn’t count as democracy if it oppises US economic interests

        I think you’ve landed on the exact reason why my hatred for them is as naked and unvarnished as it is. There’s nothing I hate more than a goddamned hypocrite; and Amerika(and her frankly Gomorran allies and vassals) is fucking lousy with deceit and hypocrisy.

      Why do you list these three, they didn’t govern under democracies? Saddam wasn’t operating under a democracy at all, besides a couple of fake elections. Gaddafi had some elements of a democracy, but most power was in his hands with no way to vote him out. Sankara rule started in a coup (or revolution if that’s how you want it) and was ended in a coup when he was assassinated.

        Deliberate. It’s because nobody in the west is a ‘democracy’ either. Amerika, Britain, Germany, every peckerwood nation attached to NATO or the FIVE-EYES alliance, all oligarchies and vassals to capital; several undergoing transformation into kleptocracies, plutocracies, and blatant kyriarchies. Y’all just murder any world leader who you either have racist tendencies against, or tells you no, and I spit on it. You belong to no democracy. You are no democrat.
