Well, I was looking at the election results in the Soviet Union. Here’s the result from 1946:
Now, these numbers seem sort of odd. Like, it’s a very good result for Bloc of Communists and Non-partisans, but a result this good seems to be impossible in a free election. So I’m wondering, am I missing something?
You should read more. Authoritarian doesn’t mean “When there’s rules”.
Yeah it means “when there’s rules that western liberals don’t like”
Ah, my little 📦 🧠! Last time we met, you wanted to show me proof that soviet union elections weren’t a complete farce. Got the numbers yet?

When those rules are to blanket ban everyone who disagrees with you, that’s authoritarian.
The rules don’t do that though. They ban groups such as nazis and leninists. Which is based.
I guess it’s based if you hate successful socialist projects 🤷
Are those successful leninist projects in the room right now?
“it’s not authoritarian when I ban all my political enemies!”
