    a country can be both an oppressive autocracy and have socially progressive policies

    “Please help, my country is oppressing me into treating inferior people as equals!”

    “You say Cuba is a democracy, but it’s been rated 3/10 burgers by the Freedom Burger Institute (partially funded by the CIA, partially funded by the American Christofascist caucus), check out this Wikipedia page.”

    We don’t even have to go there, just looking at the name, it seems to rank how “free” the market is, because that’s all that matters to them libs. Democracy is when invisible hands or something.
