In America, where a democratic constitution has already been established, the communists must make the common cause with the party which will turn this constitution against the bourgeoisie and use it in the interests of the proletariat — that is, with the agrarian National Reformers.

The Principles of Communism
Looks like the hard left is most fond of using “democracy” as a pseudonym for “republic”.

Dumb*sses commenting without even starting to watch the video. 3 minutes in, you can see the author is on OUR side.

Whether it is click bait or not does *not* depend on what you know about it.

That being said, it's about globalism, migration, and the inherent weaknesses of our form of government.

Then I’m glad I didn’t watch it

We are not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic

Don't be so pedantic. Republics and democracies both have the same problem this guy is discussing. If you pretend he is saying "republic" it will mean the same thing.

In this particular case, he is using the term "democracy" to refer to all Western countries--not just the US.

I agree, but probably for different reasons, and also probably a different governmental form.

Back to a Constitutional Republic for me. Author probably wants socialism/communism/fascism.

It’s a very interesting video.

As an 2nd generation American-born Jew whose 19th century ancestors came from Europe, I agree strongly that globalism and multiculti garbage is destroying America and Western Europe; and I advocate for strict borders and very tight immigration controls for America and Europe, as well as for Israel.

As the video discusses, nationalist democracies like in Eastern Europe and Japan are barely holding off the globalists.

I notice some other videos that are aggregated in related youtube channels, unfortunately they are thinly veiled nazi BS.

What I find revolting are the idiots who blame all the globalism on Jews (this video doesn’t).

Soros and Sanders are JINOs. Many bankers at Goldman Sachs are mostly (Not all) JINOs.

But their policies don’t come from Judaism nor “from Talmud” no matter the bullshit spouted by nazi morons.

Merkel’s not a Jew, Tony Blair isn’t Jewish, and Macron and his counterparts in Spain and Portugal and the majority of the leaders in the DNC are not Jewish.

Pres. Trump has the support of >70% of the Religious Jews in America. I bet they would agree with everything in this video.

The question is whether those on the Nationalist Right would accept us.

Watch the video, I would use “self determination” instead of democracy.

Western culture is being diluted by immigration, globalists, and by the deep state organized apparatchiks.

The way ahead will be challenging.

Words do mean things so that excuse is a lame cop out.

Nowhere in the Constitution or the Declaration is the word Democracy used.

That we are a democracy is a leftist meme used repeatedly to prove why we have gone wrong and why it needs to be corrected by full blown socialism of one brand or another.

Words mean things - democracy and republic are NOT interchangeable. Falling for the leftist meme is what they want ... pedantic, by the way, does not apply to the correct use of a term.

When someone cannot use the correct language to describe a situation, then they are being deceptive, deliberately or in ignorance. Like saying centimeters when you need to use inches - both are measures of distance so what’s the harm?

You and I are on the same side.

My characterization isn’t a cop-out, it is an explanation of reality. In the case of “Democracy” I think many of them don’t know any better, they are just uneducated. They really do think we are a Democracy.

However, I know there are many on the left to whom that distinction is quite understood...and exploited.

One World Government? a scheme to dissolve national borders and take money from producers and give it to slackers.
