The democracy bit is not only a façade for the mentioned countries that is only real for the bourgeoisie class, but also nonexistent in their colonies, should tell you something about who ever wrote this.

The dictatorship bit sounds like what I would’ve written in a history exam that I didn’t study for at 14, not something for 14 year Olds.

Another thing is how they used “Russia” for Joseph Stalin, if this lesson is recent this either means the person behind is not interested in history or just using Russia as a boogeyman for propaganda.

Also is this a national school book or a teacher’s explaining guide because it looks like printed paper and it doesn’t have page numbers on it, almost looks like a kid’s project on the topic, anyhow if it’s a school history book, in Algeria school history text books teach lessons by giving excerpts from history books and ends the page segment by asking the reader to give definitions reasons and consequences etc based on what they understood from the excerpts. I want to see if this is how everyone else has it.

“No regular elections” gives example of the USSR under Stalin

I remember being told during my school time that Germany has not capitalism but instead “social market economy”. The worst thing? I totally bought it as a 14 year old.

Was it four times Stalin tried to step down?

Literal Monarchy listed in the democratic section, lol.

“Democracies in the 1920’s & 1930’s” Did we suddenly forget what the British Empire did in South Africa, India, etc?

“Examples of democracies in the 1920’s and 1930’s”

Lists two literal fucking colonial empires, the polar opposite of democracy

Reminds me of my first ever post on this site.

looks like an average school history textbook

Lol thinking the people have a say in what happens in Western governments
