Who is going to listen to your propaganda? By making these anti Russia, China, North Korea videos, you should already be paid by NED or VoA for your efforts on distorting the truth.
Authoritarian countries not only claim to have genuine elections. They also insist that they have independent judges, independent journalists, independent politicians, and independent NGOs (such as trade unions or other other civic organizations meant to defend the interests of minorities, tenants, employees, patients, students, inmates, environmentalists, etc.), which in reality are state-controlled, either directly or indirectly.
elections also help old people/people believing propaganda trust in that leader and sell the dream to them that hes legit and legitimately elected. It helps a ton with keeping the most people under a shoe and keeping the dictatorship going. We sometimes think the majority of people in dictatorships know they are in a dictatorship but a huge part of dictatorships are people who actually believe the government and believe their leaders are legit.
Russia is corrupt just like the US and other similar countries, China does not have elections, and the DPRK has them because they are democratic but since Korea is under marshal law, Kim is the only candidate.
0:27 "the only party that has existed in China since 1949". That's a factually incorrect statement -- China has 8 other political parties. They're empty shells of course. But that actually strengthens your point
True! The biggest of them, the China Democratic League (CDL) even has around 350,000 members which might be minor in China with its 1.4 billion people, but is on the same level as the two biggest parties of Germany. So they are not really small, they're only small relative to China's enormous population.
The EU regularly recognises African elections worse than Belarus. Dictatorships mess up the economy and abuse human rights. Africans flee to Europe. Europe wails about immigration. The amount of self-defeating irrationality in global geopolitics is mind boggling.
@@adeleinetheartist8267 you saw what I wrote. Everything is shit. No government? Shit. Government? Shit. Either people exploit stuff or some problem arises and breaks everything. Democracy was good until the rich started exploiting it. Socialism? Only good in theory
The irony is that soviet Russia was more "democratic" than Putin's. In local administration naturally, only members of the party could be candidates in elections, but if the community was tired of the same corrupted politician, he would be replaced during elections. People didn't have a choice but they could give some direction in politics.
Corruption at a local level isn't exactly desirable for dictators. Thus you get things like this. Tax revenue is for building tanks and planes for the war, not to fatten up some mayor's already large plate of food. So local level elections help a dictator on not getting his cronies too comfortable.
Actually, even the Stalinist Soviet Union held election similar to those of the PDRK. They even thought about creating a fake opposition, but then found this too dangerous to employ.
What about an authoritarian government in a country that had nominal percapita income higher than the US, had the best education system in the world, one of the safest country in the world, one of the largest financial industry in the world, one of the least corrupt nation on earth, one of the most technologically advanced country in the world, the best public housing on the planet...? Of course I'm talking about Singapore.
As someone grew up in China, I feel like China is the closest thing you can get as a modern day kingdom. The system consists of a president who has all the power, an elite class that is usually the president’s cronies, special interests above law, and ordinary citizens who know not better than obey. It is different than dictatorship in a sense that most people do support the regime as they see the leader king as their savior.
Although born as the descendant of the Han dynasty, I stand firmly against authoritarianism and totalitarianism, the prosperity of a country relies on democracy and civic awareness in majority of civilians.

In the US, people don't vote for the president. Electorals are selected by unknown government officials to select who the president will be. So somewhat similar to China. In fact, many government systems do this. Prime Ministers are selected by ministers of a government body to act as the main leader of government.

There's a bunch of terminology in this video which is used in a way that skews the meaning of those words to people who aren't familiar with the topic. TLDR it sucks

At the beginning of the video, you should add some other names: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc. Does the West want to bring democracy to these countries? Or the dictator who is allied with them is not a dictator
Those same asshats who twitt about Independence for Hong Kong and Taiwan from China are the same who turn a blind eye on their fellow "democracies" shady stuff, let's say for example France suppressing the manifestations for liberty in New Caledon after they tried to push a new law that would make French citizens who don't have 10 years living in the isle vote for this colony's government representants which everybody knows it's just a way to mine any independence efforts from the locals since they can simply put someone who advocates to stay with France and make the French vote for this person, there you have your democracy.
@Nikolaievich9837 Yes but in Ukraine’s situation Putin is bound to rig it. Usa had no fear of the elections being rigged during ww1/2 and the civil war.

Also 2008 election was won by his peppet to avoid constitution abaut president having limit of how many terms can be given , no need to say they rewrote that part not too long ago
It's more complicated than that,, actually. There's a reason behing even the Kim dinasty's power in North Korea: Kim I led a struggle against the Japanese invaders in the North while most leaders in the South collaborated with the Japanese Imperial forces some even becoming officials in the Imperial forces - and that's the real cause of the Korean War in which the US led UN forces sided with the collaborators. The UN forces dropped so many bombs over North Korea that almost all cities - including villages - were completely destroyed. There is some level of real popular support for the Kim dinasty - it's not all fake nor the result of political oppression. The same, btw, is true of Russia - according to a Russia based puplic opinion companyh, Putin's popularityu has never dropped bellow 60% after it skyrocketed because of how he dealt with the Kursk submarine catastrophe. The reason why it never fell bellow 60% can be easily seen in the Russian life expectancy graph - linked bellow. None of these cases are the same, btw and very few dictatorships stay in power only because they are oppressive and violent. I'll put Belarus alongside Ukraine and Russia in the life expectancy graph and it will be easy to understand why Lukachenko is still in power and why he faces no serious opposition. Belarus is the line at top - the one in which you can't find the two dips the graphs from Russia and Ukraine show during the 1990s. data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?end=2022&locations=RU-UA-BY&start=1989 I was born in the early 70s in Brazil and we had elections - honest, fair and clean elections. To maintain the control, the regime removed positions they considered strategic from the elections and 1 or 2 thirds of Congress was filled by people appointed by the regime. In 1975 a new president was appointed, Gen. Ernesto Geisel who held election in that same year - and the opposition won over 90% of all positions available. Pres. Geisel did nothing becasue his goal was to dismantle the regime and bring the country back into democratic rule. A civilian president would be appointed by Congress in 1985 and presidential elections would be held again only in 1989. It took over 10 years from the appointment of Gen. Geisel to the presidency until a Civilian was elected and nearly 15 years until a presidential election could be held - it wasn't quick but the transition was well done.
America isn’t even a true democracy tbh, it’s a representative democracy but it’s essentially what the lobbyists want when it comes to which candidates end up with the nomination
it's a bad one IMO because of the two party system that makes people vote on wich party they hate the least than which they like more Plus all of arab gulf and Iran (except Iraq) are non democracies in your definition too
@ yeah they're all non democracies and they never claim to be democratic. The US goes on and on about free elections and liberties and all that bs. Also iraq is literally just a puppet of the us. That hardly counts
Similar to voting between 2 partys only. The voting papers only 2 partys. Giving people an illusion of voting but they voting for 2 wings of the same. I like what do in other countries Voting paper should have atleast 15 partys
you know whats funny is that these neo liberals are trying to recently ban the afd from running in germany or ban other parties they don't like, same with huawei or byd being banned, its the same cloth, just that the usa and its vassals pretend to be free, but its only free when their in charge etc.
This video is filled with inaccuracies. The first one came up in the first minute, where you said the Communist Party of China is the only party that’s existed in China since 1949. Not true: China has a total of nine political parties that all play their part. Please try to step out of your little box and view the world outside of the Western lens you are using. Listen, read, experience, and stop playing up to the same old moral tropes.
@@Duskthunder9 the us's "democracy" really isnt much better instead of having 1 option you have 2 which is just a duopoly. And dont given me that bullshit of "well there are other parties too" they practically have 0%chance of winning. in all 200+years of us history there has only been 1 president who was not from the 2 major parties at the time and it was George Washington THE FIRST ONE. if thats not a duopoly then i dont know what is.
I believe it's because even if they rig the official results, the regime still knows the real results are, so they could tell if their support is declining and what may be causing this, adjusting their propaganda accordingly.
If anyone wants to go further in depth i recommend "a dictators hand book, why bad behaviour is almost always good politics" really good body and an easy read
Or just people's ignorance and Psychological Effects on their side. Pluralistic Ignorance folks.. I doubt Stalin or Hitler would have survived if Pluralistic ignorance was realized and everyone knew what they wanted. And Hitler and Stalin definitely weren't wanted when they caused suffering.
The thing about the Chinese president being chosen by government officials doesn't sound sound any different from how prime ministers are chosen by parliaments, the ways you described it. Of course, a system where whoever was already in power gets to decide who can run does (depending on exactly how much power over this they have) make it difficult for the government to shift away from what those in power now want in a way that is more amplified the less direct the democracy is.
In Albania the socialist party (old PPSH communist party in power for 47 years1944-1991 socialist party of Albania 1991-1992 ) is in power since 2013 with the prime minister in power since then Edi rama in the party were not elections for new party leader since then i think after 2100 the party will still be in power because the people like it more Rama is a Pro west and pro east has small similarities with world dictators and Democrats leaders if you ask me you will not notice it if you are not Albanian because oly we know what is happening in ure country.
We can. It's just that the vast majority of people are complacent and are not willing to do the hard choice - risk themselves, their family and everyone they love and rebel against the dictator.
ofc the people are so cheerful on the celebration day in north korea. The videos you see are only from pyongyang, the capital city of north korea. North koreans can only live there if they are specifically deemed important by the government. So those are mainly the very rich people who live better than the average korean could ever imagine.
First of all, there are so many nations, cultures, and people in this world so thinking that one government form is best and should be implemented all over the world is impractical in itself. Many countries do better with monarchy, while many did better with dictatorship and many did great with dictatorship. A good form of government can only be considered if it does best to secure the well-being and interests of its citizens. There's a reason why democracy failed in Afghanistan yet successful in the USA. It shows how vastly people and their cultures differ from each other. I went to Russia last year and the people there are happy with their government. I talked to many locals in both rural and urban Russia during my visit and almost got the same kind of answer, they are doing great despite the dictatorship. Just thinking that in Democracy people can choose the government doesn't mean it will be a good government. The politics of democracy can manipulate the mindset of people too. In the end, it's a paradox. Any type of government can be good or bad based on the circumstances of that nation.
Yeah except Russia may not be the internally Terrible Dictatorship, just externally. I'ma say what I think I say. Ukrainians, simply don't want to be liberated. Even if it's Dictatorship prosperous for it's people, it's at the risks and costs of other nations. Besides they may not even answer you honestly on the subject due to how Dictatorships work. Take example I am about to name that happened from a friend of my Geography teacher who visited North Korea and came back. To Tell this. They restricted the friend's access to only few zones which are usually pre-set to Tourists, the friend asked them to see daily life.. Few days go by, they then allow him to see a grandmother in a wooden shack with a luxurious Television, but terrible lighting because it had no lights, since the electricity, wasn't even installed in that shack.. To quote my teacher: "They put a grandmother in a shack with a television and didn't think it through." I assure you. If you are allowed to see something, they usually WANT, you to see it, and it can be under their Conditions to hide the truth or manipulate factsm
The idea that the world is devided between two types of states, democracies and dictatorships, and that thus it's only natural that all 'dictatorships' should become democracies is absolutely laughable and childish.
There is indeed a fine line between a Dictatorship and a Tyranny. But mark my words. Good Dictatorships are a 40% chance of drop and Tyrannies are a 60% of drop, each time someone can have absolute power. I don't want a Dictatorship under most circumstances. I have circumstances that allow a Dictatorship that can stay up and be taken down quickly by People.. But I still prefer Representative Democracy.

Also 2008 election was won by his peppet to avoid constitution abaut president having limit of how many terms can be given , no need to say they rewrote that part not too long ago

Bro,
Loved it when you mentioned Philippines. 1986 snap election.
It's more complicated than that,, actually. There's a reason behing even the Kim dinasty's power in North Korea: Kim I led a struggle against the Japanese invaders in the North while most leaders in the South collaborated with the Japanese Imperial forces some even becoming officials in the Imperial forces - and that's the real cause of the Korean War in which the US led UN forces sided with the collaborators. The UN forces dropped so many bombs over North Korea that almost all cities - including villages - were completely destroyed. There is some level of real popular support for the Kim dinasty - it's not all fake nor the result of political oppression.
The same, btw, is true of Russia - according to a Russia based puplic opinion companyh, Putin's popularityu has never dropped bellow 60% after it skyrocketed because of how he dealt with the Kursk submarine catastrophe. The reason why it never fell bellow 60% can be easily seen in the Russian life expectancy graph - linked bellow.
None of these cases are the same, btw and very few dictatorships stay in power only because they are oppressive and violent. I'll put Belarus alongside Ukraine and Russia in the life expectancy graph and it will be easy to understand why Lukachenko is still in power and why he faces no serious opposition. Belarus is the line at top - the one in which you can't find the two dips the graphs from Russia and Ukraine show during the 1990s.
data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?end=2022&locations=RU-UA-BY&start=1989
I was born in the early 70s in Brazil and we had elections - honest, fair and clean elections. To maintain the control, the regime removed positions they considered strategic from the elections and 1 or 2 thirds of Congress was filled by people appointed by the regime. In 1975 a new president was appointed, Gen. Ernesto Geisel who held election in that same year - and the opposition won over 90% of all positions available. Pres. Geisel did nothing becasue his goal was to dismantle the regime and bring the country back into democratic rule. A civilian president would be appointed by Congress in 1985 and presidential elections would be held again only in 1989. It took over 10 years from the appointment of Gen. Geisel to the presidency until a Civilian was elected and nearly 15 years until a presidential election could be held - it wasn't quick but the transition was well done.
How exactly does the us have "democracy" when lobbyists and the cia can just shut down any vote that goes against their interests?
America isn’t even a true democracy tbh, it’s a representative democracy but it’s essentially what the lobbyists want when it comes to which candidates end up with the nomination
it's a bad one IMO because of the two party system that makes people vote on wich party they hate the least than which they like more
Plus all of arab gulf and Iran (except Iraq) are non democracies in your definition too
@ yeah they're all non democracies and they never claim to be democratic. The US goes on and on about free elections and liberties and all that bs. Also iraq is literally just a puppet of the us. That hardly counts
It's because the majority are complacent and can't be bothered.
The Chinese system doesn't sound that different to the UK system....
Both are broken tbh

Similar to voting between 2 partys only. The voting papers only 2 partys. Giving people an illusion of voting but they voting for 2 wings of the same. I like what do in other countries Voting paper should have atleast 15 partys
To give the people in their country an illusion that they’re living in a democracy
Consecutive great dictators could lead a nation into greatness but it rarely happens, only takes to reset the progress back a few decades.
Democratic or dictator. We hadn't had that streak of good leaders.

This video is filled with inaccuracies. The first one came up in the first minute, where you said the Communist Party of China is the only party that’s existed in China since 1949. Not true: China has a total of nine political parties that all play their part.

@@Duskthunder9 the us's "democracy" really isnt much better instead of having 1 option you have 2 which is just a duopoly. And dont given me that bullshit of "well there are other parties too" they practically have 0%chance of winning. in all 200+years of us history there has only been 1 president who was not from the 2 major parties at the time and it was George Washington THE FIRST ONE. if thats not a duopoly then i dont know what is.

Am I going crazy or did you change the title of this video like 4 times 😂
a characteristic of shills like this
open news rn, Bangladeshi gen Z just toppled one dictator,
it can be stopped & prevented.
I believe it's because even if they rig the official results, the regime still knows the real results are, so they could tell if their support is declining and what may be causing this, adjusting their propaganda accordingly.
if my president (Putin) is a dictator, then why isn’t TH-cam blocked in Russia?
Don’t you think being president since 2000 is suspicious as well as the fact his term limit is also is extended?
Why is Facebook ,twitter and Instagram blocked then ?

Is a show for the outside people.
The thing about the Chinese president being chosen by government officials doesn't sound sound any different from how prime ministers are chosen by parliaments, the ways you described it. Of course, a system where whoever was already in power gets to decide who can run does (depending on exactly how much power over this they have) make it difficult for the government to shift away from what those in power now want in a way that is more amplified the less direct the democracy is.

In Albania the socialist party (old PPSH communist party in power for 47 years1944-1991 socialist party of Albania 1991-1992 ) is in power since 2013 with the prime minister in power since then Edi rama in the party were not elections for new party leader since then i think after 2100 the party will still be in power because the people like it more Rama is a Pro west and pro east has small similarities with world dictators and Democrats leaders if you ask me you will not notice it if you are not Albanian because oly we know what is happening in ure country.

For as long as they have impunity, they cannot be stopped.
So...what will need to be done to stop dictators once and for all?
nice vid
We can. It's just that the vast majority of people are complacent and are not willing to do the hard choice - risk themselves, their family and everyone they love and rebel against the dictator.
Pluralistic Ignorance at the disposal of Tyrants, with combination of fear and Close-mindedness m.
We should never allow this to happen again.
Why we can t get ride of democracy ?
ofc the people are so cheerful on the celebration day in north korea. The videos you see are only from pyongyang, the capital city of north korea. North koreans can only live there if they are specifically deemed important by the government. So those are mainly the very rich people who live better than the average korean could ever imagine.
Nice to hear a South African voice

First of all, there are so many nations, cultures, and people in this world so thinking that one government form is best and should be implemented all over the world is impractical in itself.
Many countries do better with monarchy, while many did better with dictatorship and many did great with dictatorship.
A good form of government can only be considered if it does best to secure the well-being and interests of its citizens.
There's a reason why democracy failed in Afghanistan yet successful in the USA. It shows how vastly people and their cultures differ from each other.
I went to Russia last year and the people there are happy with their government. I talked to many locals in both rural and urban Russia during my visit and almost got the same kind of answer, they are doing great despite the dictatorship.
Just thinking that in Democracy people can choose the government doesn't mean it will be a good government. The politics of democracy can manipulate the mindset of people too.
In the end, it's a paradox. Any type of government can be good or bad based on the circumstances of that nation.
Yeah except Russia may not be the internally Terrible Dictatorship, just externally.
I'ma say what I think I say.
Ukrainians, simply don't want to be liberated.
Even if it's Dictatorship prosperous for it's people, it's at the risks and costs of other nations.
Besides they may not even answer you honestly on the subject due to how Dictatorships work.
Take example I am about to name that happened from a friend of my Geography teacher who visited North Korea and came back.
To Tell this. They restricted the friend's access to only few zones which are usually pre-set to Tourists, the friend asked them to see daily life..
Few days go by, they then allow him to see a grandmother in a wooden shack with a luxurious Television, but terrible lighting because it had no lights, since the electricity, wasn't even installed in that shack..
To quote my teacher: "They put a grandmother in a shack with a television and didn't think it through."
I assure you. If you are allowed to see something, they usually WANT, you to see it, and it can be under their Conditions to hide the truth or manipulate factsm

What I think about North Korea: [Opinion removed by the North Korean Government]
The idea that the world is devided between two types of states, democracies and dictatorships, and that thus it's only natural that all 'dictatorships' should become democracies is absolutely laughable and childish.
There is indeed a fine line between a Dictatorship and a Tyranny.
But mark my words.
Good Dictatorships are a 40% chance of drop and
Tyrannies are a 60% of drop, each time someone can have absolute power.
I don't want a Dictatorship under most circumstances.
I have circumstances that allow a Dictatorship that can stay up and be taken down quickly by People..
But I still prefer Representative Democracy.
