    elections & trials...

    always fraudulent and "for show" when done by them

    always a legitimate expression of democracy when done by us

    I was tempted to say that these processes are worthless due to the above futility but I think it really just goes to show that they aren't really worth international commentary (by state/corporate media) and are much more an exercise of domestic political expression; the verdicts of trials and the results of elections are fairly meaningless as a gauge of "is X nation has democratic values" but are a good indication of the current state of the internal class struggle.
