Yes.... just because there might be "socialist" or "republic" in the title, doesn't mean they are actually very socialistic or a republic.

I keep telling religionists who insist that Commies have killed more people in the name of atheism than all the millennia of religions, that replacing an all knowing infallible god with an all knowing infallible political party is not really atheistic in flavor.
