The US has some serious issues with corruption, but it's FAR from a dictatorship, lol.

    Highest prison population w/ privately owned prisons, besides the elite class of your country controls what happens in your country (media included), you have no say in it.

    Is there any state, current or historical, that was not a dictatorship according to this metric?

    Edit: ignore the question, I noticed the Stalin profile pic

    The dollar rules in the US. That is 100% true and is definitely not a good system. However, that doesn't make it a dictatorship unless you consider money to be their dictator.

    Money cannot be a a dictator, it’s just pieces of paper with value, however the people who hoard it in massive amounts and use it to exert influence on the system, resulting in laws that favor them and their companies, are.
