So communist democracy is the solution?

What is the context of the phrase "Heil Hitler" now? Context is everything and you can't just point at the history books and twist the meaning of what someone said.

Languages change and morph over time. They always have.

why is democracy the goal? democratic nations have pretty much universally profited from the plunder and destruction of poor nations.

the british empire, the french empire, the german empire, the american empire. democracy is a tool of imperialism and colonialism. when those avenues for extracting wealth fail, what's left? increasing concentration of power and wealth to the rich, privatization of public goods, right-wing extremism, and societal stagnation through a return to conservative values.

yes but see china bad

and yet coal power plant utilization is dropping like a rock
