    America is not a democracy:

    Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence

    Gotta love how if you don't completely surrender your economic sovereignty to Western imperial core capitalists, you get immediately labeled a "regime".

    Israel, a literal apartheid state, is still deemed a democracy, yet Bolivia being smeared as a "regime" is all you need to know about The Economist. They labeled Bolivia under Morales (the country's first and only indigenous president) as a "regime" every year with the exception of 2008, so it's doubtful that this year's regime label is only referring to Áñez.

      a journal that speaks for the British millionaires

      This isn't factual anymore. Back then it was true, but today it is the rag of the British billionaires, millionaires and those wanting to be some.
