@MarkPaul No you are not. You have been lying about your "credentials" for years at this point.
I know what a dictator is. And it is not based on vibes which seems to be your entire argument.
Words have definitions.
You don't have any sense and just make up definitions to suit whatever mental vomit you happen to be posting at any given time.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I never lied about my credentials. Well, maybe I did a little, but if I did it was to point out that my experience made up for a few formal degrees. But, that doesn't change the fact I am educated now and a businessman. So, I have the rigor of academic training at uni and the street smarts that comes from operating a business.
Now that my CV is established and the basis for it explained and understood, I think we can agree that Putin himself would declare that he is a dictator... in a private setting with no public exposure. To say he is a free market operator is on the ludicrous side and I suspect you know that.

@MarkPaul Yes you have. For years now. In fact the number of credentials you have claimed over the years is literally impossible given your age.
To have all the credentials you have claimed over the years you would have had to start college at like 7.

I mean I agree with the problem of allowing autocratic leaders dictate society.
But I think we can find better role models than a homophobic, racist 5th column MI5 snitch and CIA stooge used as a "socialist" tool to discredit actual attempts at a socialist state.

@Guitarman123 Ummm no. We have cold war propaganda that he was a dictator. They are not facts. In fact even the CIA said based on the facts it was not even remotely a dictatorship.
But the lie was politically useful.
It had nothing to do with maintaining an ally and everything to do with justifying the cold war and the red scare.
And "common knowledge" is very frequently factually incorrect.

Lets be clear here. The "working class" dont have to take care by revolution. They can better take charge by maintaining a strong transparent government that balances their interests with profitable progress.

george orwell is commonist. evil.
@RachelLia2003 George Orwell was never a communist. His best-known and most read novel (1984) was all about how bad communism, particularly Stalinism, can be.
@RachelLia2003 George Orwell was a Socialist that championed the common people, and wrote against authortarianism.
