AES states have their authority under the control of the working class, and wield it against capitalists, imperialists, landlords, and fascists. Capitalist states wield their authority against the working classes, and the imperialist west wields their authority globally against the global south to super-exploit for super profits. It isn’t that western countries have better human rights than AES countries, the opposite is true. What the west has is the spoils of imperialism, plundering the global south. AES states don’t have that.
A good example of this in action is people’s perceptions towards their democracy in China, compared to the US and UK:






Cool, except socialism in AES has brought liberty to the working class. Sloganeering isn’t a substitute for a point.
