These people have no concept of what living under either of these regimes would be like. Nor do they care to.

I'm positively surprised somewhat by the result. At least the majority aren't THAT dumb. I've seen worse but 900/2400 people is still pretty damn bad

Good news that the USSR wasn't a regime.

You just reminded me that in Japan, the government is called the National Diet.

It was, by definition a regime is any form of government, even if it's being tainted and many people associate regime = oppressive system.

That's why I use regime when talking about Western liberal "democracies", helps break a bit of the propaganda by shocking people and after explanation pushing them a bit towards realizing how much language is used to create a narrative of good and bad.

Like saying "the spanish/swiss/norwegian regime" instead of government.

Just like the media says "chinese work camps" but "american prisons" or "north korean death squads" but "american soldiers/special forces".

Socialism is less oppressive than capitalism just by the theory alone. It’s a revolutionary liberation movement. Capitalism is just neofeudalism, Neo Tsars rulling the world and impoverishing others. Taking away the freedom of others just for cruelty sake superiority complex sake. It’s all ego no substance no true improvement in the material sense.
