I live in Spain. We have a literal monarch and royal family.
In the previous decade, a leftist party called Podemos appeared, and started to poll very high. Because this is unacceptable in Europe, the state came up with a solution:
A far-right wing of the police started to fabricate false evidence of funding of Podemos by Iran and Venezuela (history rhymes huh?), leaked it to capitalist media, and the media, ALL media, ran stories for YEARS about Podemos and Venezuela, about how they wanted to turn Spain into a Bolivarian republic and create hyperinflation... They destroyed a party from the state + media apparatus through an illegal lawfare psyop, and literally nobody has gone to jail for this.
Tell me again in how much of a democracy I live, where far-right parties are free to promote hate and leftist parties are literally destroyed by the state and media apparatus.
