    The theory when applied ends up not following the book… I wonder why?

    Because you can’t read, as proven.

    The difference is something called contextual nuance, and you have no grasp of it.

    Your position is like North Korea claiming democracy doesn’t work because they say they are one and it’s not working.

    You can continue acting stupid, but in your case I’m not sure it’s an act.

      North Korea’s definitely working. If it didn’t work it would have collapsed. It’s still hell, but a working one

        Is the Democratic Republic Of North Korea a Democracy? Because you’re trying to say yes.

        Like I said, it’s called contextual nuance and you have no grasp of it.

        You can continue acting stupid, but in your case I’m not sure it’s an act.

          No, it’s not a democracy because it doesn’t even bother following actual democratic principles. It’s just like Napoleon’s idea of democracy: I am the people, therefore if I have absolute power I’m being democratic.

          Basically Cuba on steroids

            Exactly, and that’s why everything you’ve ever known as communism and socialism is in exactly the same boat. They didn’t follow the actual communistic or socialist principals. They were all little north Korea pretending to be those things.
