        Have you actually read anything about these countries or are you just repeating what the US government told you? The constitutions of the USSR, China, Russia, the DPRK and Cuba are all easily searchable.

        Ok, these questions might sound like they have self-evident answers but I want to know where you’re coming from: what are your issues with dictators as defined above? What do they do that you find problematic?

            He lost all the arguments he attempted to make. First this one, then arguing against my position that “Israel” doesn’t have the right to exist (let alone to defend itself). All he did was be a pretentious jackass that never had any proper answer to begin with.

            Yeah, I tried. That was the first drive-by lib I interacted with so I wanted to give them a chance. GIven their other comments, whoever banned them probably saved me a headache
