    Has anything ever been ok in any of these countries? Russia has always been a totalitarian shit hole, same with China. Communism is just a part of their shitty history of oppression and dictators.

      Not really, Russia went from an empire with kings /queens into a revolution into a “communjst” dictatorship.

      China was similar but I think had a step in the middle, hence the split with Taiwan.

        A monarchy is a dictatorship. It’s literally someone with absolute authority dictating how what happens in a country.
