Will you provide any evidence for your claims? It’s not me who’s claiming Roman republic was a democratic state (lol). “popular assemblies composed of common citizens” lol, look up centuriate assembly and see how many votes common sitizens had in it (spoiler: 0.5% of total votes).

Was Roman Republic a dictatorship?

I mean like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, etc. By monarchies I mean all monarchies, but since you’re comparing the quality of life of today’s democracies it only makes sense to compare it to today’s monarchies.

They fit almost all of the criteria of communism. If Democratic Kampuchea haven’t achieved communism, it was very-very close to it. Much closer than any other country. If you disagree, please provide something substantial. What are the necessary criteria for communism that Democratic Kampuchea didn’t fit?

Well, seems like your deductive capabilities are subpar. Don’t try suggesting thing again, you suck at it.

Popular assemblies composed of common citizens could maybe decide where to put a public toilet on a street. Most laws were passed by the senate (composed of aristocrats), and consuls/other top magistrates were appointed by the senate.

I live in a post soviet country so I experience the impact of socialism to this very day. It’s appalling.

Roman Republic wasn’t a democracy. It was ruled by aristocratic families. Lol.

It’s the main criterion. If the system doesn’t last, then it’s shit regardless of what it is. The main purpose of the government (and any organization, for that matter) is to exist for as long as possible, everything else comes second. I wonder what other criteria do you have in mind?
