Russia, where one party decides everything: "Dictatorship! Unfree! Blasphemy! Heresy!"
America, where one party decides everything: "This is the best system that has ever existed, and ever will exist. Just as The Founders intended."

I think this is correct. Also look at Intel basically handing itself over to Washington to be a state owned enterprise.
